You ought to see it, I think it might have been me that named it that. He took a Chev Surburban and cut the back top part off and made a four door pickup out of it. Real cute.

Ford made a 4-door full size bronco that you could take the rear fiberglass cap off the back to have the same thing.

(of course the 2 door broncos and k-5 Chevy blazers would let you take the back off)

I never heard of that--When did they make that?

It was made the same time the standard Ford Bronco was made. It appears to be a custom conversion by Centurion. It was a rare vehicle to find, but they are out there.

Hey Marty,

OK, Not made by Ford though. I'll by that. My last four years as a wrench was specifically on Pickups, Vans & 4X4s. I didn't think there was a model that got past me.

You had me worried.
