I've always disliked those Centurion vans... Look's like someone beat them with an ugly stick.

me too, but keep in mind that "hammer pants" were also cool at the time.

i can see where it sort of looks like a tractor trailer and people would find that neat.

Yeah...but if it's an E-350 with a dually rear axle swapped under it, it should pull about as well as an F-350 with the same powertrain. And I bet there's more room to sleep in the "back seat" of that, than the back seat of a CC, which might be handy on a long trip. (I've slept in the back of CC Fords...but I can't stretch out across the seat. )

The C350 C250 R on Ebay quite often. In Every drive train . The C150 in Bronc or truck form r a rarity .

No it's not...it's a F350 Crew Cab Cab & Chassis that someone mounted the dump bed on.

Did Ford Motor Company send this F350 out to have the dump bed added?

If the DSO code is 6 digits, it's possible.

Centurion began converting Bronco's into their version of a Surburban in 1978.

Centurion also took long wheelbase Econolines, cut off the rear half of the body where the 3rd/4th row seats were, added a short pickup bed.

I talk on occasion with talk to guy who knows the Original owner of cent factory on another site. This site is a 4 door only site and guy was doing Bio of Centurion. As he was told. Before 81 only the van conversions were done. But its good to know the 78-79 dentside r out there.

Can't touch this

On topic though, I've seen several Centurion F-150 Crew Cab conversions like Chris' around MT...
