4 door bronco?!

I wasnt sure where to put this thread but thought I would get your guys opinion about this truck that I saw. i saw it on the highway and had to do a triple take. same body style as this example photo.

I have always kinda been interested in the obscure models...

anyway, what do you guys know about these 4 door broncos??

Haha, the Ford Suburban. I kinda like it actually.

Im assuming it was stretched by that one business...I cant remember what its called though Ive seen a lot of 6 door trucks, or screws with an extended cab stuck on the back. Pretty cool if you ask me, I cant remember at all the name of the company though...

i'm sure someone here will know for sure, but i thought ford used to produce this model for the mexico market--we just called it a suburban

my dad wanted one years ago, but we couldn't buy them in the us, as far as we knew at least

used to see them relatively often in southern new mexico

Found this in a quick Google search off a FordOffroad board...has some Bronco FAQs.

7.4 Did I really see a 4-door Bronco, or should I have my exhaust system checked for leaks?
You probably did see a 4-door Bronco, but it's not a bad idea to check your exhaust system anyway. :-) A company named Centurion manufactured a conversion vehicle which was a crew cab pickup cab grafted to a Bronco back end to create the equivalent of a Ford "Suburban". While not technically a Bronco, the Bronco community has adopted the Centurian as one of its own. The vehicle came in half ton and one ton configurations. The C-150 is built on an F-150 SuperCab chassis and the C-350 is built on a stretched F-350 regular cab chassis. Centurion Vehicles

Bartak just said everything that I was going to tell ya'll. Centurian has been doing 4 door Bronco conversions for years now. The one pictured is a F-150, but they did make them in F-350 flavor...

Well, the truck is all Ford, using mostly Ford parts, but the modifications weren't done by Ford.

A lot of times the companies use these conversion companies to do low volume things and test market. Use Roush as an example. Centurion did nice work and you bought it at your Ford dealer. This was the precursor to the Expedition - test market and then make the move at new body style timing.

Generally, the conversions are not that big, but every dealer has conversion trucks and vans on the lot. Body kits, paint and interiors are typical upfittings.

There used to be a red & white C 350 running around here years ago. Don't know what happened to it.
