I've never seen one of these before. Probably make a great tow rig for someone though. http://winnipeg.craigslist.ca/car/478807209.html

OnTheSpot · 11-18-2007, 01:53 PM

I've only see 2 before in person. They are bad ass. I wonder how many were made?

I have seen about four in person they are great and I think would make great tow rigs myself everything great about a F350 and a Bronco hard the beat that combo.

RgdL · 11-18-2007, 06:49 PM

Yeah, I thought it looked kind of rare. I'd love to see how it looks with the back roof removed.

Po' riggity · 11-18-2007, 07:08 PM

I'd love to have one if I could get one with a 7.3 Diesel.

Danger Ranger · 11-18-2007, 07:36 PM

I've seen a few (ain't never counted) but I know there is one here in clearlake with a idi diesel in it. Should be a 7.3 based on the body style, but who knows. Some hick ass mother fawker that lives over in one of the trailer parks across the highway drives it.

Dude must think it's fast as he drives it at WOT all the time... one of these days I'm a gonna wind up next to it at a light...

85f150dsel · 11-19-2007, 08:12 AM

I'll join the club as always wanting one, but damn overpriced.

If you do any reading on them, they almost all has major rust roof issues where the F350 4 door and bronco roofs mated.

I would still buy one if the price was right though.

mondtster · 11-19-2007, 09:40 AM

I've only ever seen two Ford Centurion conversions. One was like the one posted here and the other one is a crew cab F150. Both of them appeared to be from the late '80s or early '90s. They would definitely be a cool tow vehicle but unfortunately they seem to be pretty rare and rusty around these parts.

PAToyota · 11-19-2007, 10:07 AM

There were a few of them around here, but since the subject came up I realize that I haven't seen any of them for quite some time. I always liked the looks of them over that of a Suburban.

I'm in the market for a SFA diesel tow-rig with 4wd and three rows of seats; it really comes down to the Excursion and the Centurion. Only trouble is, that dollar-for-dollar, the Excursion is less expensive than the older Centurions...

Camarogenius · 11-19-2007, 10:11 PM

I met up with a guy in Sherman, Tx. He's got a line on one with no engine or tranny. He's supposed to call me with a price.
I've got an F-250 w/ a 7.3 5 speed that runs perfect, but the body is rough.

CartsXJ · 11-20-2007, 06:46 AM

There was one at Rauch during the rookie comp in the parking lot. Black on 35's I've always loved them and I got to see one up close, they are fawkin' sweet. You can definitely tell where Ford got the idea for the Excursion.

Munchies · 11-20-2007, 10:55 AM

Cant haul a goose though. Very fukin cool!

Yeah I remember seeing alot of pice of shit trailer park dirt bags when driving through clear lake. That pice of trailer trash is probably just tired of shitty 35mph speed limit for 35 miles

Its like trailer park next to rape motel's next to the trailer park driving over north lake on 20.

Worse drive in CA

get a mid 90s one (made til 96 i believe) that has the 7.3, i cant remember when they became the "powerstroke" but i believe it was before they stopped making the centurions.

theres many of the diesel ones on fourdoorbronco.com
