Bronco Conversion Like the Centurian ?

There are a bunch of threads concerning the Centurion Bronco conversions... but here is a question I dont think has been asked or answered... but I may be wrong.

Are they actually Bronco Conversions or do they just look that way? Like, is it just because of the removable top that it is a bronco conversion? The reason is I was told that there was NEVER a 2WD bronco... but I just saw on EBAY that there is 2WD Centurion.

SOMEONE HELP!!!!

The Centurians were based off the frames from crewcab F-150's and F-350's so any drivetrain could have been used. The put the bronco bed and bed cover and rear seat on the crewcab truck and blamo its a centurian. Remember the bronco shared 95% of the same parts with the F-150, so was is based off a bronco or not? You be the judge.

thanks for the info... I figured it would be on a 150's frame. Didnt think about the 350 though.

am I right in saying that there has never been a 2WD standard bronco... did they all roll off the line as REAL trucks?

2WD was never an option for a Bronco. They only came with 4WD. Real Trucks.

I've heard one or two people claim 2WD was a factory option, but I've never seen one.

I only know of one 2wd bronco, but it wasnt a factory job. Ford made a one-off Bronco Lighting between 93-95. It was given to thier vp?. I forget who exactly it was, but I know it existed.

From the Factory you could get 2WD, but not through the dealer, it wasn't an "option".

Thats the point, unless you had someone to call at the plant, you should not have been able to get a 2WD bronco. I mean, you could pay people enough to custom build one there at the plant, it happens in Europe. Why would you want one anyway??

Man if you had a badass 2WD Bronco, you could load it up with 25" dubbs, hot pink underbody lights, snake eyes on the hood, 5 or 6 TVs, 10-speed bike tires, and a 4" body drop. You could dodge potholes and pretend they were slalom poles!!!!! I'd pay extra for that!!!!!!
