HELP...what would you do??

Fluids, belts and air/fuel filters are cheap insurance.

 

As said, ALL filters, belts, and fluids.
I would also have a good look at the belt tenisoners too, if they are automatic ones.
While the belts are off, test the bearings in the alternator, ac compressor, etc.

Best of luck, I loved my old 12.7 500 Detroit.
