Junkyard Finds: Centurion Van Pickup Cruiser | Mesquite Automotive

- Here we have the ultimate 80's mashup. A conversion van, a pickup, and all the fiberglass to hold it all together. This once baller flex van has had some rough days but I look at this vehicle and the history of the company Centurion.

I run a business pulling parts from cars in junkyards as a side hustle. I've been doing this as well and working on my own cars since 2005. When I head to junkyards I try to find the vehicles that stand out to me as being interesting or unique. Whether that's because of the car itself or what the previous owners have done with it. With most of these car this is their final resting spot before the crusher. Documenting this gives everyone one last chance to see them before they are gone.

It was once a beauty of a hauler.
I have a 96 F-350 Centurion. Mines not one of the crazy conversions, but it has the 460 engine, heavier axles, the better towing package and a few more odds and ends.
That's cool. You take it on road trips?
@@MesquiteAutomotive Me and my dad just bought it this summer, pretty much reviving it from a situation like this centurion. No spark, wouldn’t start, so we ended up pulling the distributer and it fired immediately. We haven’t had time to tow anything with it, or go on a road trip but I’m sure when spring comes around we’ll take it somewhere.
I might have a cousin of the truck you showed... It's really a strange bird but kinda cool ... It's mostly fiberglass and a 5.9 intercooled turbo diesel with a 6 speed Allison it's a screamer... I shoot some photos if your interested
I've always wondered about the company history, I'm glad to now know. I had no idea about the other conversions they did. I've only seen a couple of these Econoline truck things in the wild after 2010, I knew a bit about what they were from spotting them in the junk yard. The remaining survivors almost always seem loved and well kept.
Is this the new format? I like it.
I put a lot of extra work into this one. Actually doing research and doing a voice over. I don't know if it is really worth the effort though.
So much america
That pure 80's excess.
The 460 is part of the 385/lima family. Not the fe.
Oh yeah you're right. I must have been thinking of the 428 maybe?
