It is a CONVERSION from Centurian Conversions in Michigan. You might call it a prototype for the Excursion. It is a F Series Crew cab with a Bronco Rear! The chassis is a F Series Crewcab SWB.

You go to their website, you might still see the gallery of it. BUT I could not be positive about that. MHPO.
EDIT!
Southern Comfort Corp bought them in 2002, The gallery is gone but!!! There is a few photos of the truck on other sites!

I seen these in the 1980-1987 body style in Tucson, AZ. Those trucks had Mexico liscense plates. They also lacked Centurion tags anywhere, so that leads me to believe that Ford made these and sold them in Mexico as a precursor or something to US sales, and it never happened. Thats just a guess, so if anyone has any real ford history on it, I would love to hear about it. If this story is true, you'd think Ford would've sold them in US to compete with Suburban, which I believe was all alone in the full size market in that time period. Internationa Harvester Travel all folded up before the '80s. anyone?

Ice man, you should have left a note on his window telling him to join FTE! lol
I think it would look awesome if the cap was taken off. You would have that curve to the bed.
