I took my '87 9kT from NC to California and back with no problems. I ended up putting 10k on it in a month. That's a lot, but it had 250k on it at the time, so percent wise it's no big deal (I'm sure there are no problems with that logic at all).
That said, I really have my finger on the pulse of the car and brought enough tools to do many jobs that could come up (eg I once replaced a control arm by the side of the road). My car has been extremely reliable, though it seems to require a lot of maintenance. Plus a lot of it is just luck. Remember, new cars break down too.
I say go for it. It's a fantastic adventure, especially if you take your time and see many of the odd-ball attractions middle America has to offer.
