A company called Centurion made a 4 door conversion out of a standard cab GMT400 chassis. They basically grafted a 1 ton cab onto the chassis by lengthening the frame to fit.

I wouldn't look twice at this truck. It looks factory.

I saw one in person a few years ago and thought I was hallucinating.

yeah where I grew up someone had 2 blue ones (along with 3 early Karmann Ghias). For years I wondered what the hell it was

Have a friend who did this with a king cab long box, and put a diesel in it. That thing was an absolute tank.

I didn't know Centurion touched GM's, but I would much rather have a 4 door bronco. My dream tow pig would be a 96-97 C350 with a 7.3 PSD.

I saw this one back in '11 at Rausch Creek Offroad park in PA, thing was MINT.

This one is owned by a guy I know off the bronco forum. Its a 96 C250 with a 460 big block (and MAF, its a california emissions truck. MAF 460's are rare). It has a dana 60 SAS, as well as a 6" lift and 37's. Its pretty rough since he uses it as a plow truck, I hope he eventually gets around to restoring it like he's been saying for years he'll do. He has a brand new production 460 BBF + a vortech sitting in his basement for it.

That Bronco Centurion is a thing of beauty. Especially the green one. It's the OBS Expedition that never was. But should have been.

It's such an awesome idea, I'm just surprised they actually had a big enough market that would buy these things to stay in business for awhile.

Oh my. That white conversion with the top removed. That is what I want in life. My dad has a Bronco in really great shape that he doesn't use much. Time to google things.

I sold Centurions and you could get up to an 8 door crewcab F-350....

I loved the crazy stuff they offered. Are they still around as a company?

They have been gone for maybe 20 years I believe. When Ford released the Crew Cab Dually 4x4 they pretty much slid off the edge.

I used to know of a red one, used to see it every day, however the dude used it as a daily here in WNY, so it was very rotted. I don’t see it anymore, so I think the dude sadly scrapped it.

GM offered this truck in crew cab why the hell would you have one made?
