Classic Conversion: 1990 Ford F-350 Centurion
The Ford Excursion didn’t hit the showrooms until the 2000 model year, so if you wanted a full sized “Suburban” style many-door experience in a Ford 1-ton pickup, you were fresh outta luck. Except that for big pile of cash you could pay Centurion Vehicles of White Pigeon Michigan to convert an F350 into a 4-door suburban assault vehicle that looks great in front of a giant barn building. Expect epic fuel bills with the 7.5 liter gas V8 and a curb weight of more than Plymouth rock. Find this 1990 Ford F-350 Centurion offered for $17,000 in San Fernando Valley, CA via craigslist. Tip from Rock On!

Other kind of barn find, I guess.
So someone is trying to sell a custom truck that has been converted into a SUV by doing a bunch of custom work adding a cargo area and rear seating, and they don’t show any interior pictures of the back?
Also that sure doesn’t look like anywhere within a hundred miles of the San Fernando valley. Or even west of the Rockies.
Is that really blue?
I question the veracity of this ad.
I get it that they need more pics, but they were seriously well done conversions. I remember looking at them on the dealers lot back when they were new. I want to say they were $60+k in 1990 dollars. Biggest issue I recall with these was lack of good rustproofing on the modified portions.
Oh look!
