Question Centurion Body kit removal??

I am looking at a 1997 crew cab dually with a Centurion body kit. I hate the body kit, but love the truck.. Can the kit be removed without any outwardly visible damage (ie holes or body mods required to make the kit fit, if any?)

Thanks

i dont think you can, i think they extend the frame, so youd have an ungodly gap

No no no this is a stock F350 crew cab dually with a fiberglass Centurion body kit. It looks like, in the pics, that it bolts underneath the truck, but I can't be sure without seeing it in person and it is 300 mi away.

There are probably screws and 3M tape holding them on . Don't break them as they are $$$$. Also you will just have a regular truck when done. But I never like the kits on the F350 any way . Enjoy and list parts on here .

But they mount/screwed in fender well for most part . And under cab on bottom . Be prepared to find rust under there as every one I worked on (yes even Texas truck ) had some

Hey, nice truck btw. I was just looking at yours last night. Came up on a search for Centurion body kits. Mine is a 1997 with a 7.3l Powerstroke. Not sure which auto it is?? E4OD maybe?

well they had the c-6 auto and the E4OD auto, 3spd versus 4spd more often you will find powerstrokes with e4od's, if it has overdrive its a E4OD

If it's a 97, it's an E4OD. You rarely saw a C6 behind a 7.3 from 91 on unless it was put in by someone else.

Centurion body kits

My name is Eric, and I have a 97 OBS F350 crew cab dually. It has the Centurion body kit, and we had a blow out on the passenger side and damaged the section on the right side of the bed. I'm looking for that section to repair my truck. If anyone knows where I can get it or has one for sale, please contact me at 603-670-6952 or ericbrendle5762@gmail.com.
thanks for any help you can provide.
