  • Picked up this sweet ride off of Facebook Marketplace this week and HAD to surprise my wife with it, after she told me I wasn't allowed to buy anymore vehicles or items...but I couldn't pass up this opportunity! What do you think??

    Centurion (part of Starcraft conversions) was the coach works, in White Pigeon, MI...the C350 started as an OEM F350 Crew Cab (long bed), cut-down and the Bronco rear added. TheRe was a C150 that started as a standard cab and was stretched. There was no 3/4 ton version offered. It was sold through a Ford dealership and is all OEM bits!
    The roof has polyester filler, so CHECK THAT for rust and delamination.
    Centurion made several other models not made directly by Ford like a crew cab F150 and the Van-nosed pick-up "Cruiser."
    The upfitterer was sold to "Southern Comfort Conversions" and then ended operations in 2009 after the nation-wide 2008 financial fiasco.
    I had a '90 C350/Navistar-IH 7.3L Diesel, 4x4. It was incredible and was sold for a good price to an enthusiast that planned to run it on waste cooking oil.
    I bet the actual mileage here has a 1 or 2 on the left end of the odometer that cannot be displayed.

    Centurion was the conversion company.
    These were converted from a donor chassis and oem bronco back end grafted.
    Sold at ford dealers just like the more common conversion vans that centurion offered.
    Dont remember what they called these f- series crew cabs that were converted to 4 door broncos...
    I sold the vans new and that was in the early 1990s... well done vans ive only seen one of these in person.

    Interesting I just recently acquired a '92 F250 in those very colors. I remember when these things first were announced. I think some were calling it a Bronco 3. As the 1980's came to a close, it finally dawned on Ford that the SUV was seriously popular and GM was kicking their hind end with the Suburban! Disappointing it took Ford so long to come up with their own full size SUV design and from the looks of this one, the aftermarket crew took first crack at it. It is a very nice vehicle. I did kind of wonder what my truck would look like if it had been built as an SUV and now I have an idea.
