yeah thats a pretty good price... I'd ask about the fuel system, like what pusher pump it has (which hopefully it does have one) and vp44, also, is one of those gauges fuel pressure?

With that edge you will shorten the life of your trans... and u will shorten the life of your injection pump.... the time frame is anybodys guess... but it will hurt it w/o proper upgrades... nice lookin truck though!!!

it should do pretty good with whats on it once you get a fuel system on it, and build the trans because it will not last very long if it's original and been using the edge. I would add a set of rv275 injectors
