.... Thats rediculous, I was told monday.... I understand you are not in the middle of everything urban, but 3-4days late isnt acceptable.... USPS is convenient for me with my time schedule, but if my packages arent being delivered on time, its of no use, and I will go to UPS...

Sorry man, hopefully you get the package tomorrow.

 

As of right now im not that impressed with the piece i had mailed to you justin. 2maro is day 10 and it only had to go about 300 miles.

 

Yeah I agree Mike, but it did come today, and it did have to go over the border, so its not so bad...

Is it just me, or recently has shipping just gotten slower, no matter what the medium??

 

Its ok man the weather has been pretty bad man most of our flights at the air station have been canceled in the last few days and we are only flying the helo for search and rescue. My case isnt really a good example, Im not sure ups or fedex would be any better.

 

Any updates on the build?

 

I wrote him a while back and he told me the Centurion had more rust than he wanted to deal with and he was going to focus on his F250. His profile shows he hasn't been on in almost a year now though...

 

Thanks for the update. I wonder if he ended dropping that engine in the F250 then? That kind of stinks that he hasn't been on in a while though. It leaves you hanging on build threads. Lol

 

that is a shame

such a promising build

centurion was a conversion build

spliced bodies of the F-250 & bronco (8 lug)

or

spliced bodies of the bronco & F-250 (5 lug)

this one was the real deal .. these were pretty rare

and more so now .. for the same reason
as this build was aborted

the 2 truck halves were welded together and seamed
with copious amounts of body filler 'bondo'

nothing wrong with that .. but someone thinks it looks
okay with just a little rust .. they dig deeper .. and more
rust .. and alot of custom body work in 'plastiq' that they
are unfamiliar with and can't duplicate ..

unfortunately he probably cut into it pretty deep before
realizing he was in over his head .. hope this thing got saved
before it hit the crusher ..

and that pallet of goodies was put to good use elsewhere

 

sad to see it got put on the sidelines.
i hope mine does not go the same way!

 

These were F350 crew cabs with a shortened frame and a Bronco back end grafted onto the cab. They kept the F350 8 lug axles. Many were junked because this seam failed and was not repaired in time. At some point the rust repair would be more money and effort that just making your own as IDIoit is doing...

 

ahhh .. that's pretty cool that IDIoit is building one of these .. i didn't see that thread .. will have to look around

i also am thinking of doing something along the lines of a half way going centurion with a home brew topper made from cutting off the back of a bronco where the 'cab flare' area is .. that mates to the topper .. then making a separate extension forward to make the gap to the cab .. while retaining the gap itself .. somewhat like a more traditional topper .. but with style .. really a single cab removable centurian topper fusion ..

reason is .. i would like to have a 'van' for cargo space when needed on the job .. but i don't wan't to buy a van if i can avoid it .. it would be a pita to work on the motor .. a homebrew removable 'half centurion' topper would provide protection from rain and theft .. while still looking more stylish then just a plain old topper .. and would sure get alot of looks from ford guys

coming soon to a theater near you

 

Are you still on this forum as well? I have somewhat of an update as to this project if you are interested. Well not the the project but to the truck

 

Not sure any of these guys are still around, on the forum anyway, leroy maybe.
