Yes, all the fuel lines, tires tend to dry rot also. poptop seals, UV damage. Systems needing flushing: coolant, brakes. And all other rubber. I'm sure there is more. Now if the vehicle was stored properly and in a controlled environment (temp & humidity)---then it would be like new. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bill '85 GL [*Magic*Bus*] '82 Westy [FreeBird] ...cause I'm as free as a bird now...
