I had to look several times to make sure I was not crazy, but there was a truck in our body style (92 - 96) that was a crew cab, with a super cab back part. Guess you could say 4 door super cab. It was a 350 dually long bed,, It looked like it should say CSX or Norfolk/Southern on the side....
It HAD to be custom, I think.. Any one else ever spotted one? Or am I crazy as I suspected??

I think I saw a truck like what you are describing. It was a 92 - 96 Super Duty, 4-door, with an Ex-cab on the back. Do you understand what I'm saying? Hard to describe.

Yeah I would agree with the Centurion label. I have only seen 2 so I would consider somewhat rare

I, too have seen a 6 drro truck, white if i remember, and Centurians are not all that rare in F150, but much harder to find in 250/350 with the diesel. There are several centurion sites out there, just google it

I once saw a newish Ram with six full size doors. It was a dually, I think. That thing was stupidly long. How to turn into a parking lot with a truck that long??? Especially pulling a load.

Anything is possible if you have the skills and equipment (and insanity in some cases) when it comes to custom bodies. My uncle had a 4dr Corvette at one time! The rig you are describing does sound like a Centurion conversion (I worked at a Ford dealer in the late 80's to early 90's and we used to sell them). While not what I would call 'rare', they are definitely not common. One bought for cheap sitting would make a cool over the top 4X4 (seems nobody ever really messes with them).

How much more did these trucks go for than regular trucks? I talked to this guys daughter that owns it, she said he paid 4 grand for it not very long ago and would take 3500 for it now and this truck is not in very good condition. Kinda rusty. I paid 1700 for mine and was in much better shape bodywise.
Considered a F350 Centurion which had a sticker of over $36K. They were a crew cab pick up with the bed removed frame shortened a bit and a Bronco rear tub installed then loaded with goodies.
My opinion
unique but not rare.
If rusted and not running $3K is way too much.
