well thats a whole lotta question :P
fist off, u shouldnt really use any oil additives, it u think it needs flushed then run some seafoam through it before u change the oil...personnaly i would suggest a k&n oil filter simply for the fact it doesnt flow nearly as much oil back into the pan when the truck sits, so when u start it, it wont be a dry start, and as for oil, depends on what u can afford, if u can afford say some redline synthetic that would be your best bet....for a gas additive, just run a can of seafoam through it once a month or so....for plugs, any plug that is both platinum tip and platinum core will work the best...atf filter dont matter what brand u get...dont really matter for the universal joints....differentals i would say to use lucas

use delco plugs. no need to add anything to oil unless there is a problem, and for other than general cleaning, there isn't much a mechanic in bottle can do but delay the inevitable. would reccomend removing the diff covers for fluid change to inspect everything to make sure there are no chunks or anything.
