I got a beater '89 extended Dodge van last summer. Cheap deal I couldn't pass up. It reminds me more of a '70s rig than late '80s except for the fuel system.
Older rigs with some leaks do OK with infrequent oil changes. My dad never changed the oil on his travelall but he was probably adding a quart a week. Probably put 150k on it over 10 years. Lot of parafin sludge in the pan, but it was an oil leak that finished off the engine.
