Did I already post this? I can't even remember anymore. Anyway, Regular Car Reviews is awesome.

Yes there are now 2 threads I know of featuring the Centurian van/truck. There were not many of these vans turned into RV/ pickups. I know where one is about 40 to 46 miles from where I live, it is equipped with the 7.3 IDI international diesel. Someone said he thought it also had a 5 sp manual transmission. If true I'd trade one of my dozers for it

Maybe it is just from growing up in a certain era where that body style van was common place (yes, my family had one), that these "van trucks" seem perfectly normal.....dare I even say somewhat desirable. No worse mileage than my Hummer and in all reality, more functionable.

I'd buy one. That thing is just great. It would be a nightmare to drive, but it would be great to own. If I wanted a boring every-car I'd buy a Corolla. I want something with 6 wheels, a 72 litre engine, 16 cylinders and circular saw blades on the hood.
