All the dentside centurions I have ever seen were custom made. I don't think Centurion started building til the middle 80's.

Not mine, but 4 miles from the house, great local JY.

If only they were closer. Fuel cost plus time and travel expenses, plus purchase price, plus, plus, plus, yup, toooooo far away.

But I sure hope somebody rescues them or at the very least they get used up for parts and not just crushed.

Couple years ago, local old truck gold mines around here got gready when the steel prices were high and cashed in. Now your lucky if you can find any useable parts when a truck gets brought into the local salvage yards.

I love having a lot of trucks, but this is hard to see, due to the guys that do it not ever doing a thing with them and they sit and rot into the ground. Of course, they always say that they will not sell and will "fix them up some day"......

Yes on the 3 fuel tank question for the blue one.

As far as rust the front cab mounts/corners and roof rails are in real good shape on both, but it has been a few days since I was up there, they seem in good shape.

At least the rear doors and cabs are solid and they still close with a secure sound. I am on the road so if someone wants a detailed report I can't get up there till mid oct.

I doubt they will meet the crusher, the JY owners son is a dent fan too. I really like the crew cab bronco.....but this is different too.

iv actually been wanting to strech a bronco to fit my 117" wb, but always been unsure how a modified unibody would hold up.
That guy made that one. Well, maybe not him, but someone did. I think it's this one.

Do some searching around the site there are all sorts of pics of these things. I think it's the same guys.

Ford didn't do it. Centurion & Magnum (separate companies) made them.
