1995 centurion resto-mod

[Centurion_guy]

Wassup guys. So I wanted to post about the truck for a while but I only recently just got the truck back up and running and got the title fixed. She is a 95 f350 crew cab long bed dually with a 7.3 and a zf5. It was a nice clean truck a few years ago but it was used as a farm truck for a while. I am gonna take the truck back to a hopefully better then new condition. I am gonna put some money in the motor and clutch. It really could use some 3.73 as well. The only visual changes are going to be clear headlight and turn signal as well as a 6.4 bumper other then that it will be just like how centurion built it. I only have exterior pictures at the moment since the interior is really stained. Once I get my hands on a steam cleaner and get it clean I will post some pictures of the inside. I know it will take me quite a few years but since she is sitting at 174,000 miles, she will be with me for a very long time.

Truck had potential. I see you're from Wichita. If you need anything, let me know.

So is a centurion a special edition, like lariat, etc? Never heard of a centurion. Probably a sweet ride back in the day.

Yea but I believe it was done by an aftermarket company. I could be wrong though. They usually had actual wood prices in the interior on the ones I've seen pics of. Also the vinyl graphics down the sides.

Yes, it was an aftermarket company. They actually made the first "excursion". Took a bronco and extended it in the early '90s.

Damn!!!! I want one!

Yup centurion was a factory backed aftermarket modifier. Think of it like Shelby or roush. The graphics are actually painted on. Centurion could really build what ever you felt like. They made crew cab f150, the 4 door bronco, dually hauler e series vans, 4x4 duallys, and mega cab one tons. They are not common to see. I have only seen one 2 other centurion beside mine. One 4 door bronco and a mega cab truck.

One of our members here has a crew cab 150 made by centurion. I forget his name at the moment though.

That would be me :toast:

Also a good cleaner for stains is spot shot in the aerosol cans. My carpet had big oil stains or something and I was planning on replacing it and spot shot took it all out.

Quick update. Finished up the 6.4 bumper swap. I will be getting some clear headlight and a few other things in the next few weeks. I will post better pictures once it is buttoned up.

Looks good. Some led cubes where the factory dogs would normally be would look nice.

That's a lot of money for a truck with unknown mileage and rust starting to show up especially when they are notorious for being rusted out where centurion put them together. I definitely wouldn't mind having it though for maybe 5-7 grand.

I couldn't do. It looks way too Chevy surbaban in the back half to me.

 

[Centurion_guy]

I am back. It has been a long time. The dually has come a long way since my last update. Don't let the pictures fool you she still has a long way to go. You can see my rear flares are still busted and the front fenders still rotted. I guess you can call it a "rat rod" look. I guess that's what happens when you daily your project :walking:
