welcome. i would love to see pics of your truck. specially when you do the cummins swap. the easiest way ive found is to buy a wrecked 4x4 dodge with the cummins and put your ford body on it

Easiest way to post pics is to upload them to photobucket.com, or a site like that, and then link them here in a post.

Yep, Centurion was best known for converting Broncos into 4-doors. I'd love to get my hands on a nice diesel someday, but for now my pickup serves me well.

I'm sure the guys in the diesel section will appreciate the help!

Welcome Wayne that will be one fun truck when finished. For doing the 4x4 conversion I would say get a donor truck the same year as your cummins engine that you are getting easiest way and just swap the transfer case, transmission, front end, and get driveshafts and you are good to go. (I know easier said then done trust me in the middle of a 4x4 conversion just not a cummins swap).

C350 aka Four Door Bronco from Centurion conversions

They started life as F150/250/350 trucks...

Wayne the pics are in my link 2nd one in my signature. I am going to use a 4 speed I belive transmission out of a 84 F250 4x4 standard it may be 5 speed but I haven't even looked into that truck much I have so many projects. I am not sure if the cummins will bolt up to a ZF transmission I may be wrong not sure.
