(Gas prices are ~2.74/gallon here right now, I can afford to start the 7.5L)

Once it gets the new tires (Geolandar AT/S 265/75R16 E rated) It will look the part.

Only time taking up 2 spots is acceptable.

I have possession of it for a short time due to some expertise with the platform and assisting the owner with finalizing the build process.

Is that one a Centurion or just a lot like one?

It looks like a centurion, but centurions were cut shorter than that. It is a 1991 econoline motorhome chassis that had an econoline body that was shortened, put on it, and the bed from a work truck attached. All new electrical harness was just installed (by me), and the 460 was upfitted to 1996 spec with new heads, MPFI, etc. Engine runs mass-air (7.5Ls were speed density) with a stouter cam, some port work, ford EDIS/distributor-ectomy, etc, and megasquirt EFI.

Nice. I wondered, because I'd seen a couple of Centurion variations, but most seemed shorter than that, and most used a stock bed and duallies.

This one can go dually with a new bed, front hubs, and tires/wheels but it was built 'sorta cheap' with stuff that was around the yard and shop.

I'd say the toolbox bed arguably works better visually. No real reason to go dually, when that's presumably the top-rate axle 350HD's axle like in our '90 ClubWagon, with an insane weight rating on singles anyway.
