To fans of FoMoCo and wacky byproducts of the 1980s, the Centurion Vehicles name should quickly ring a bell. Throughout the ‘80s and ‘90s, Centurion created all sorts of custom Ford trucks and vans, and this 1984 E-350 that’s here on eBay combines both of those things into one interesting package.

This 1984 E-350 Centurion Conversion is available in Golden, Colorado with a clean title. As you can see, the vehicle offers some interesting styling, but it comes with a purpose: the rear seat inside the cab folds out into a bed, and with the dual rear wheel setup, towing a 5th wheel trailer should be a breeze. In fact, it almost feels like a miniature version of a sleeper cab truck, though it feels strange using the term “miniature” to describe this E-350 in any context.

Unfortunately, the ad lacks information about this funky beast, though the seller provides a phone number where they will provide more details. The drivetrain consists of a rebuilt 7.3-liter turbo diesel V8 engine and an automatic transmission, with both the turbo and the rear end supposedly being rebuilt items. The drivetrain has 93,780 miles, which – to the seller’s knowledge – is a true odometer reading.

Centurion Vehicles closed its doors in early 2006 after being bought out by another conversion company, Southern Comfort Conversions. These days, Southern Comfort operates under the name SCA Performance, which caters towards a category of trucks known to many as “brodozers.” Sure, styling and trends do change over time, but the details of Centurion’s demise only adds to the irony of a giant, gaudy exhaust stack on a uniquely 80’s vehicle such as this.

The seller has a Buy it Now price of $6,500 for this E-350 Centurion Conversion, though reasonable offers are also considered. Would this practical combination of van and truck meet your needs, or is the exterior design of this Centurion too abstract for you?
