Ford Econoline Conversion Van With A Dual Rear Wheel Setup

Alongside Centurion Industries building Broncos modified into a Suburban-type vehicle on an F-350 Dual Rear Wheel chassis, as van conversions were Centurion’s core business, and as Centurion was a longtime business associate of the Ford Motor Company; Centurion had built a handful of Econoline van conversions in the Dual Rear Wheel setup.

Centurion would take a standard Econoline 1-ton Single Rear Wheel cargo van with the van converter package, remove the wheels, brakes, suspension, and front and rear axles; and then install from a chassis & cab/cutaway model Econoline-the Dual Rear Wheel front and rear axles, brakes, suspension, wheels; and also install custom dually fenders above the newly-installed dual rear wheels.

Then, once the Econoline cargo van had been converted to the Dual Rear Wheel setup; the van would go through the usual conversion process of cutting out the holes in the side of the van to install the aftermarket RV windows, installing the aftermarket interior, installing all of the aftermarket exterior accessories such as running boards and aftermarket bumpers; and finally, giving the van it’s custom aftermarket paint job.

The conversion van pictured below with not only a Dual Rear Wheel setup, but also a Quigley 4-wheel-drive conversion could have very well been built by Centurion.

A van like this that Centurion would build with a Dual Rear Wheel setup is something that we consider when buying our Centurion Bronco on an F-350 Dual Rear Wheel chassis in “Early Life And Continuous Livelihood”.
