It's hard to beat a black Obs!

 

Clouds..... It's actually emerald green.

 

I agree

 

Gorgeous! I love the red interior. beautiful truck.

 

But your's is an F-250, isn't it? They're a little more common than the F-150 crew cabs the quote was originally referring to. F-250 crew cabs were made by Ford in '96 and '97 (and also in the '60s and '70s). But Ford's never made a half ton crew cab. Those are all conversions. (I know, there are crew cab F-150s starting some time in the 2000s, but those are the F-150 7700 which is what Ford renamed the light duty F-250 after realizing it was stupid to have F-250s on 2 completely different platforms like they did in '97. So I maintain that the F-150 7700 is really a light duty 3/4 ton)

 

It's hard to beat green too. I started my Obs addiction with a dark tourmaline/white truck. Then my fiancée realized we needed another green one. The green collection will only grow.

 

Thanks

It actually has a grey interior, but I have a Black/Red seat cover.

 

No, the quote and the truck are correct. You are looking at an original 1995 Centurion F-150, 4x4, short bed crew cab conversion truck. I ordered it new from Ford/Centurion in 95. It had to be built. The flares and nerf bars are centurion options and I deleted the wood inside. Centurion did use F250 components to make the conversion like the strengthened (ribbed) roof which is needed for a crew cab regardless of what chasis it's on (back in those days).

 

I really love the updated look of your truck. The chrome really pops. Every time I see it I question which direction to go with my truck. Chrome or black.

 

nothing looks nicer to me than a shiny black truck with tasteful chrome accents (as shown on that truck, grille, bumper, wheels, side steps, sometimes mirrors, etc)

 

Thanks for compliments guys.


I've had a lot of people tell me that I wasted my time and money on this truck, and I should have bought something newer. But to be honest, I don't like any newer vehicles. In my opinion, 97 is that last of the REAL trucks.
I am planning on adding some new shiny wheels next year, and maybe tires at the same time. If I can fit 285's in there without a lift.

 

Opinions are just like...well you get the picture. Don't want to anger the censor police. I'd love, and plan to get a newer truck in the future, but I absolutely agree with you. These trucks are manly trucks, and they are quite sexy to boot.

 

They sure are I've only seen one in person and that's mine.

Nice looking trucks some 19.5's on that dually would look amazing along with some factory alcoas on the srw truck. I've also never really understood what people mean by "REAL" truck. This is not a jab at you but I've always taken it as, I can't afford a new truck.

 

7700's aren't crew cabs.

 

Thanks,

I can't really explain the REAL truck thing.
It's just that when I drive an OBS I feel like I'm riding in a tank (Not literally of course) but newer trucks just make me feel like I'm driving a big car, if that makes any sense.

Not only can I not afford a new truck, I don't think they are worth the price.
I'd rather fix up an old truck that I love to drive, rather than spend twice the amount for something I don't really like.

I've thought about factory Alcoas, but I've been looking at maybe a set of MT Classics
