Bronco Centurion

From the late 1980s through its demise in 1996, the Bronco was also sold at Ford dealerships as a modified 4-door SUV (making it similar to the Excursion or Suburban). These 4-door Broncos were converted by Centurion Vehicles of White Pigeon, Michigan. The conversion involved combining a new club cab short bed F-Series truck with a Bronco tailgate and fiberglass top. The end result? A huge, versatile, extremely rugged SUV. In addition to adding a third row of seats and more room, a Bronco Centurion could be ordered using an F-350 as the donor pickup, allowing the Centurion to have such engines as the 7.3L PowerStroke turbodiesel and the 7.5L 460ci gasoline V8. This made the Centurion more appealing to people in need of a comfortable tow vehicle, albeit a faster one. Over time the few of these cars that still exist are rare and valuable, except for the certain percentage of Northern cars that suffered from tailgate rust-out due to poor body paint preparation.

The Bronco Centurion could be ordered with options such as a third-row seat that can be folded into a bed, second row bucket seats, a TV with a VCR, and a built-in radar detector

i've been a big bronco fan since i can remember and i never heard about this till today when i read it on wikipedia does anyone have one or pictures of one.

 

Funny you should mention. I saw my first Centurion in person just a few days ago. I passed one on the highway on my way to work. The coolest part was that the donor was a diesel, so not only was this a 4-door bronco, but it also had the old pre-powerstroke diesel in front. IIRC it looked like an F-350 Crew cab from the early 80's - large squares in the grill. Very cool.

Look on ebay and do a search for centurion. I saw one up there a few months ago that was in mint condition. It had a PSD and a 5 speed. They wanted a lot for it though.
