Default My Centurion Fix!

I have been a member of the site for about 2 years only read but rarely post.

Going through some pictures and found these pictures of my 2 Centurion modified pickups. Both trucks are 1995 models.

The 1995 Centurion F350 "Extended Cab" Crew Cab Powerstroke pickup was purchased NEW by me in the fall of 1994. This truck is one of the first Automatic Transmission equipped Powerstroke Pickups built at the Kentucky truck plant in early September 1994 as the automatic transmission behind a Powerstroke was new for the 1995 model year. The late 1994 introduced Powerstroke trucks were all 5 speed trucks. Immediately upon my purchase new without taking personal delivery I had the truck shipped to Centurion in White Pigeon Michigan for the Extended Cab conversion. The truck is loaded with virtually every option available except power mirrors.

As of December 2013 the truck has 175,000 miles. The truck is in very good condition considering it has sat outside for 19 years. I have serviced the truck every 3K-4K miles since new and have a log with every gallon of diesel fuel and service since new. The only mechanical issues have been replacement of the alternator, starter, 2 water pumps and a transmission rebuild by Brian's Truck Shop in Missouri. The truck runs and drives fantastic just as when new. The lower mileage on the truck is due to the fact that when it leaves the house it is usually a 500-1000 mile trip. Certainly not my daily driver and has never been used as a work truck strictly pleasure!

The 1995 Centurion F150 "Crew Cab" was also an early September 1994 build from the Detroit truck plant. This original single cab short bed truck was shipped new directly from Ford to Centurion for the "Crew Cab" conversion. The truck was sold new to the first owner in Canadian Texas. I purchased this low mileage truck used. The truck is loaded with all options and has a 351 engine for power with a 3.55 rear-end. This truck is in EXCEPTIONAL original condition having been garage kept. A very nice truck!

Enjoy and Merry Christmas!!!

Wonder how much that extra part of the cab effects maneuverability. Noticeable?

Not noticeable at all to me but I am used to it. It's about 2+ feet longer than a Crew Cab. About 28 feet long.

It does get long when I pull me 40 foot 2 car tag trailer but still not a big deal.

Runs 80 MPH all day pulling 2 cars!

I'm not wild about the blue either but you take what you get when buying used.

On the other hand I like the red interior!

As a matter of fact I turned down a white truck with grey interior for the red interior truck I bought. As far as the tan interior that was available back I did not like it either as it showed dirt very easily just like the grey interior. My personal least favorite interior color on a car or truck is black which everyone seems to like!

When you said Centurion I wondered if it was the white pigeon factory.... i actually did some construction work there years back and their fade paint jobs are some of the best I've ever seen!
