Agree with the others. The truck is easily worth that. A good cleaning and waxing, and I bet the paint would shine. Keep in mind though, that the price of an engine rebuild will be a thousand higher than you're figuring. Plug wires, hoses, fluids, water pump, starter, etc, etc. all add up to a good chunk.

Now for that van-- If that was on the east coast, I'd be thrilled to get a hold of it. I like the older dodge vans, and a manual would be a real bonus. I would be skeptical of the conversion aspect, though, since quality of that can vary widely. To me, it would be portable protected tool storage.
