I've heard there was a Ford suburban manufactured in Mexico. For Mexico only. I have also seen one that was built/fabbed by some other company. They took a Big Bronco back end and grafted it up to a F series Crew Cab. I want to say it was mid 80's when I saw this rig.

The fabbed ones were named Centurions. Found this above pic via Google.

Centurion did this, then they drove these conversions around the US visiting dealers in the hope they could sign 'em up to sell them.

Bronco was the only thing that came to my mind until Jeff posted the Centurion. The last one I saw was on either a 3/4 or 1 ton chassis.

Mexican Bronco Thing
Came across these earlier today and thought I'd share. They were made in mexico, and are called B-150 Carryalls (I think). They are all Bullnoses (80-86). It seems like there were a few different versions, and some share bronco parts. They have 2 doors on one side, and 1 on the other.
Version 1: rear doors that open.
Version 2: rear doors with bronco side windows.

Version 3: truck styled tailgate
Attachment 211043
Version 4: bronco top and tailgate

I took that photo about 4 years ago in the Walmart parking lot around Christmas. I didn't think to really look at it as I thought it was cool looking. I always wanted a Bronco. Not that I didn't have one. I always wanted a Bump side Bronco. I thought about building one for years. To me it looked like they graphed the cabin of a Bronco onto a Pickup cab. That's about what I remember of it

I recently bought a Centurion, mines a half ton though. I rebuilding it right now and making it a bullnose. I'd like to build a Bumpside 4 door bronco some day... shorten a crew cab frame, add on a 78-79 bronco rear and reskin it with bumpside quarters. No company built 78-79 4 door broncos, but many people build their own. There is an F600 4 door bronco build going on in the dentside forum right now. More info in my build thread and fourdoorbronco.com. Here is mine:
