i found a '99 stroker with a 7.3 and 150k miles on it,it has a brand new tranny with borg warner clutches,trans go tugger kit,billet torque converter and 6 way ts chip...all this for $6k. the body isnt in the best shape but body isnt my thing, its only got a few dents...is this a good deal? im wondering if it will be reliable or if something is gonna go wrong because if i buy this i wont have the money to fix it if something does. PLEASE HELP!

Well that dont sound bad to me. Just depends on how the truck runs.

i went for a ride in it last night,it shifts great and the engine seems strong, my dad doesnt think that it will be reliable tho...and he thinks its junk just because of the body
