Centurion?

Hey just wondering if anybody has heard of a six door and a 4 door with a extended cab? did centurion make these? I had a magazine article many years ago about a company that made these conversions but cant remember the name. I cant seem to find any info anywhere. Seen a six door full of hutterites in a nearby town.

I used to have a 4 door X-cab Centurion.

They're belly-up and have been for about ten years.

I notice most of those conversion companies last a decade at best.

i know chevy/gmc had a few back in the 80's that were 4 and 6 door. When i saw the six door for the first time i didn't believe what i was seeing. if memory serves me right it was a 86(flat nose at least) chevy 3500 6 door 8 foot bed WITH dually's. that thing was so huge and not even lifted, its just a monstrous truck.

They are not belly-up, they got bought out by a company called Southern Comfort Conversions.

Love the fade on the paint. but no pictures of anything with 6 doors. I suppose with enough money they'll do what you want. Hey Chris did you see the bronco as well?

Centurien Made 4 -6 doors in any combo you can think of . Stretched between doors like limo and extended on back . 4 and 6 door broncos . Most are F350 in the wild setups .
A local car collector had one 95 F350 deisel 4x4 4 door limo strecth with 8 ft bed its like 26 Ft long
Some have way nice custom interiors but most are well appointed stock type interiors. There is one for sale in classified right now. And they are on eBay often .

Look to pay about double the cost of normal truck for the F150 based version and $$ for F250 -350 all others .
