As I was doing my weekly scouring on Craigslist for truck parts, I found a 95 F150 Centurion 4x4 for sale locally.

Apparently it has a burnt valve, and a transmission cooler line that leaks like crazy. I didn't attempt to start it, the price was right, even if I have to put a motor in it.

PO did some work to it, brake lines, leaf springs, hangers and shackles, ball joints, tie rods, etc. He had a stack of receipts to back up his work.

I'll tow it up to the shop in a couple of weeks, and get a better idea of what she needs. The cap, and running boards are the first things to go.

you lucky SOB....awsome find man wow....i would love one of these...the best 4 door trucks ever built IMHO

 

envy...ENVY!!!! That is one beautiful machine you have there!

 

Thanks guys! She needs some work, but this one's a keeper.

 

yeah no doubt she's a keeper! Hopefully it isn't as bad as the PO made it out to be.

 

I hope not! I didn't even attempt to start it, with the leaky trans cooler line.

It's only got 135k on it, so if it did drop a valve, I'll most likely pull the motor, check everything else, and repair what's broken. Seems like a good time to throw some GT40 heads on it.

 

No doubt ^_^

 

id give you my 92 nite for it right now junk motor and all......that 4 door would make it easier to get the kids in and out of

 

wow, that thing looks like its still in great shape! I doubt it dropped a valve, that truck doesnt look like its been abused to that point

 

Thats SWEET!! I am fixing to buy one also. It isn't in quite as good of shape as yuours though.

 

Looks like a nice truck but i dont think its a centurion. At least not from what i know of centurions. They were the extended cabs with bronco back halfs. That just looks like a crew cab 150.




Am i right? or did i miss something? either way thats a clean looking truck.

 

Centurion made both. Ford never offered a crew cab F150 in this body style.

Those Bronco's are sweet though! I've never seen one....

 

That's exactly what I was thinking, about the kids. Mine are going to love it!

 

Ah but Centurion would also modify the 150's to a crew cab since it was only available in 250 and 350 trucks back then. Not everyone need that big a truck so that's where they come in. They did the bronco's as well. The half tons were their speciality.

 

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.
