Keep playing music (good for your brain) keep interacting with people (likewise) and keep exercising (y'know, like walk for at least 30 minutes a day, not marathons, unless marathons are your thing.)
My 84 year old MIL tossed them all out the window to sit reclusively in front of the TV, refuse to make new friends when her old ones died, refuse her doctors orders and our encouragement to get out and walk, or use an exercise bike to maintain some physical condition (ie, retain the ability to walk) - and more or less as a direct result is now staring down the barrel of a long time in a nursing home, since she hasn't really got anything that's likely to kill her, unless not wanting to be alive will do it, and it hasn't so far.
Also, that truck should be handy for stylishly hauling amps and cabs, in one of those mythical places where they don't salt the roads in the winter (any really old vehicles around here imply winter storage and application of lots of cash.) My last I-6 (Ford) was running great when junked - motor death is hardly known in the modern era, non-economically-viable cancerous decay is what kills vehicles here...I've been on a shrinking trend, truck-wise, from a crew-cab 4wd 1-ton with a V8 that could manage 11 MPG on the highway with a tailwind (motor also fine when junked) to half-ton Ford 4WD to a Toyota Tacoma 4WD with a 4-banger - but I finally faced my greatest vehicular demon and learned to back a trailer, so the Taco has the largest "bed" of them all (in the form of a 6.5 x 14 trailer.)

I hope I can get them to do replacement parts rather than fusing the vertebra together.
