Wierd... but kinda cool: Centurion Bronco

[DK5]

Saw one on the highway today so I googled it and this is what I found:

I never heard of this before, has anyone else seen one?

Seen a few of them around. Not common by any means but not one in a million either. Apparently the bodies are not very well built when you really start digging into them.

I havent seen one in years, Ive never seen one in the 92-96 bodystyle either, always the 87-91 body that Ive seen

There's a half ton one here in town, but the good ones were built on a f350 diesel chassis.

Depends on who built it. There were 2 manufactures of the 4 door broncos. Centurion conversions and the other was Magnum if I remember right. The magnums used a fiberglass rear quarter that was grafted to a crew cab body. Centurions were all steel if I remember right. Magnum actually opened up shop just down the street from Centurion but they didn't last. Magnum called their four door bronco the Metropolitan.

Production #'s were never completely clear. Centurion was a very small outfit that built every one of their 4 door broncos by hand. The estimated# produced is anywhere from 2500-5000 with less than half being the C-350 (1 ton) version. Magnum was in business for even a shorter time and its estimated they produced less than half that of centurion.

So are they rare! Yes! not impossible to find but I've been looking for a clean C350 for about 6 years and I'm still searching.

My ford humping buddy claims 95 was the last year. Ive worked on a 95 at our shop before, very well kept 7.3 turbo diesel with a E40d , swapped in NP205 and we put a gear vendors add-a-gear, nice truck overall. Not easy to find if your looking for . I also have heard the weak bodies thing as well. Definetly unique

I almost bought this one a year ago. It went to texas and now it looks like it will be coming to my shop for bumpers sliders and some other stuff. Kinda wierd how things go in circles.

That brings back memories. There were a few of these around 15 years ago or so.
