Which makes it that much more of a pain if it comes to replacing one from a bad hit or big rust, etc. Maybe not for a body guy but it's just that much more work IMO.

Everyone that I have seen with a badge on it was Overland Coach, but I can't find them.
You mean the Ontario CA based Tour Bus Coach Manufacturer, that has a Michigan Retail location ???

Remember hearing about them doing Custom Vans, and Larger Trucks, but not these....  I too mainly heard about the Centurion Builds, and a few other RV Coach Manufacturers(Jayco/Winne???)...

That is all I have found aswell, and they were all Fords (1/2 ton crewcabs, and 4 door Bronchos) and Overland Custom Coach in Canada is not the same Overland Coach that built these trucks. It was supposedly in Texas, I live in Texas, but can't find any inof. I am still searching

Centurion did 88-99 Chevys, but it wasn't extended cabs, it was Crew Cab 1/2T shortbeds.  N2TRUX on here had one.

I didn't think about it at first, but there is a crewcab stepside not far from here. Its about a 96-98 model and I didn't even think about it being a centurian. Come to think of it, I have seen quite a few.

Centurion was founded back in 1977 to help fill the gap in the Custom Truck/Van Market....
In Dec 2006, Centurion was bought out, and became a part of Southern Comfort Conversions(Another Company that built Ext/Crew Cab Custom SWB's and Stepsides in the 1990's to current)..
Here is a link to Centurion's Old Company History Page that gives a little info(I mean little)...
http://web.archive.org/web/20040605130202/www.centurionvehicles.com/history.htm

Centurion did do Custom Ext's all the way up until they were bought out, those were LWB/SWB Fleets/Steps/ and Stock Sized Dually's that they Accessorized...  Their Specialty Trucks consisted of C/K 1/2 & 3/4ton Crew Cab SWB Fleets and Steps, and 1ton HD Crew Cab & Chassis(Mainly appealed to Towing Companies, and Race Teams as a Ramp Truck)....
CK 1500 Crew SWB Fleet

Crew 3500HD 


Here is a look at Centurion's 1999 Line up(Since the page is no more, not all of the pics/pages will display, but it does still give some up!!)...
