Yes, not sure of the F350, but there are a couple of the Centurian Broncos here in Central Oregon.

It was an F350 converted to have a fully enclosed, four-door cab like a Suburban. I have never seen one in person, but the pictures look like what you might imagine an Excursion would have looked like if they went back that far because that's pretty much what it is.

If its a 351w in a 1 ton be prepared to probably replace both heads from heat cracks. If it has good axles and such under it I'd say go for it.

For $500 it would be a great truck to fix up. They are like the Suburban, but the rear top comes off like a Bronco with 4 doors.

I guess the body is shot. Considering the prices these are going for dead or alive I'd buy it. Locally they are going for almost double a Bronco price. And the trucks are just as much. And that isn't a rust free one either. You could get them in 1/2 ,3/4(Only ever saw 1) and ,1ton . They are a sweet ride other than filer (bondo fiberglass )pops where roof meets step up part ahead of removable top. If your In Pa I'll buy it after your done with it. Good luck
