If that was a factory conversion, then they must not have lasted long if they had a massive recall for the rear suspension on that things. I know of jeeps having a combination 6x6 axle setups so it may have had a 5.5 lug pattern and it was incorporated into the frame of the truck. It looks cool but i don't know how practical it would be. The propane is a nice touch tho.

**Just to add i re-read the ad and it says FWD.... WTF? Why in the world would you have that in FWD carrying an extra 500lbs of axles.**

i think it might be one of the more rare centurion projects.... i know iv seen newer f250s-350s with the 4 wheels or 8 wheels in the back, but not a 92-97 body style.

That's not a factory conversion.
