On the cover of Autokrafters 73-79 catalog they have a picture of a four door Bronco four wheel drive. I have never seen anything like this and I did not know Ford even made such a thing. What I was wondering is, if it is a factory ford truck or something sombody made. If it is factory how many years were they made. The picture was a side view of a 73-79 truck.

I have seen a few of them here in years past. They were late 70's early 80's. they were called a Centurion and were custom made, but were sold at some of the local Ford dealers, They were on a F-350 chassis.

If you're looking to buy I do know of one. Go to Performance Unlimited.com The owner has one for sale. It is a really nice truck.

The thought of doing this has crossed my mind, but dont have the time or patience to do it. (I think I have seen a 70's model ford like this a while back)

I saw one of those beasts here in Albuquerque. I figured it was a one off custom. Sure did look nice! Better than a burban any day!

 

i do remember now about the centurion conversions. i thought they just made them in the 80's though. sorry
