Good report shovelhead.
Agree, you’ve had comparatively few repairs needed.
Word of caution, at that mileage and model/age, there are more than a couple things that “should” be on their last legs. Namely U joints everywhere, unit bearings, water pump, belt idler pullies, hydroboost pump and possibly injectors.
