The term "Centurion" refers to the company that did the conversions. Altho most people know the Bronco 4 door conversion, they also did other conversions, ranging from doing 4 door F150s with no other mods to mention, up to ones with full custom interiors. I remember going past their facility back in the early 90s and they had F-series stacked out the wazoo.

I paid $700 for it. Given what it is, and the relatively good shape it's in, I think it was a steal!

I couldn't believe it either. At first I thought the seller didn't know what he had, but he pointed out himself that it's a Centurion.
$700 was his asking price, and I didn't even try to talk him down. I was too busy pulling cash out, and signing the bill of sale.

Cool, i didnt know they did just the full cab f150s. Ive seen two of the 4door broncos in person(one for sale that was a 3/4ton). And i know centurion did some van stuff as well. They were a limo company right?
Oh an $700 is just insane!!!!! That is the steal of the century(on)

I'm unsure of the history of the company, but Google searches lead to a lot of Broncos, and Vans. Seems they did a lot of van/pickup conversions as well.

i had never seen the crew cab f150 b4 either....kinda looks like someone just put the f350 crewcab on a f150 frame if thats possible....i love it...but i would want the pickup version not the bronco version....

$700 is a steal that's for sure! Good luck with the truck!
I get the bronco 4-door conversion, because of the nifty cap over the back being different than a regular bed, but I don't get the crewcab 150 thing, only because one can buy a crewcab 250 or 350 and actually tow/haul heavy stuff.
Not a knock, just a philosophical pondering...
And whoever said 4-doors makes loading kids easy - is spot on.
The other advantage is there's enough space in the back seat little kids when they're bored and swing their feet, don't hit the driver's seat and therefore, are less annoying

Honestly, I don't get it either. I haven't found any info on what these went for new, but it makes sense that an F250 CC was probably less expensive than one of these.

Either way, it's a cool thing. Can't knock it
My perspective comes probably from always having more weight in the bed than in the crewcab, even with passengers.
I imagine if it were the other way around, a crewcab F150 would serve me well.

I'm guessing you're kidding, but in case you're not, no!
I have a feeling this truck will be with me for a very long time.
