F350 Centurion Value?

I was stumbling around on Craigslist last night and found a 1993 F350 7.3 idi for sale. He claims it’s not a centurion but I’m pretty sure it is.

Its a quad cab, with an extended cab grafted onto the back of it. 8’ long bed. Dually. Sun roof, visor, and that weird bed visor thing. Southern truck so clean clean rust free. Ugly paint job but whatever that’s fixable. Has a flat tire, dead batteries and he claims it needs injectors. I don’t care about any of that. It’ll run enough to drive onto my trailer. I want it because of how rare they are and how awesome they look.

Im getting it for 2 or 2.5k and honestly I feel like I’m stealing the thing but I never see them for sale so I have no idea what they’re worth realistically. Does anyone know?

They are worth as much as you want to pay, they are rare for sure. If i had to guesstimate around 2-10k depending on powertrain combo.

Like said previously, the value is what you are willing to pay for it. Everything is worth something different to everyone. Awhile back I saw a craigslist add for an F350 4 door bronco centurion with a PSD, I think it was a 1996. Only had 57,000 miles and was in mint condition. Owner was asking something like $39,000. Would I pay that? Hell no unless I had an unlimited income. Is it worth that.........maybe if someone wants it bad enough.....I have only ever seen a couple other adds for 4 door centurion broncos like that and I think only one had a PSD.


I would say if you are getting the one you are looking at for 2-2.5k you are stealing it. With that body style you can easily put a PSD in it and convert to 4x4, basically whatever you want. If it isn't going to be used as a heavy hauler then keep the IDI in it.....great motors and cheap and easy to work on.

That's called a SuperCrew (combination of super cab + crew cab). And DEFinitely not factory. There were other conversion companies out there, but Centurion was the 800-lb gorilla among them.

The guy is currently holding it for me. He seems like an awesome dude. The third sentence of the Craigslist ad was “seats 9. Really”.

It measures 24’ from the front bumper to the back of rear tire. I’d guess the thing is like 28-30’ long.

I need to swap the tires from my 550 that are brand new onto my 450, and then make the 1400 mile round trip to grab the thing. I kind of want to tow it home with my obs 250 because my clean obs pulling that thing would be a sight to see but that’s kind of a bit on the heavy side pulling that truck back on my 30’ gooseneck.

Either way you guys will get lots of pictures. I’m super excited. This thing is going to be awesome.

the 6 door's are centurions. They are boats to drive and have a lot of float in the frame, but they turn heads.

Get a newer front clip and swap the dash and everything in for a Powerstroke, and it will be ta ta's

What "newer" front clip? Why wouldn't it have the exact same dash as a PSD?

The frame is way longer then normal, so you got more flex in the frame.
