Here is my 99 K2500 CCSB with a Centurion package.Has the 5.7 with 175k miles. Runs good but needs repairs. Has its share of flaws in and out compliments of the previous owner. The first 3 pics are from last year with the last one in 2014. I stopped driving it regularly in 2016.

Thanks, the trim is limited to the overhead. The seats are stock.

Found some sweet brochures of the different Centurion Conversions back in the day. Didn't know they made different "trim" levels.

On my way to town this morning, saw a guy had his black ECSB 400 outside with a Lund racerback + visor, chrome bed rails, full length fiberglass running boards, brush guard, 3 spoke directionals, and custom graphics. It looked very dusty, must have been the storage building for forever, no rust that I could see. My mouth dropped when I saw it, looked like he hadn't driven it since the early 2000s. Sadly it wasn't for sale, though if I had the money, I would've picked it up in a heartbeat.

Also, for those that actually have Centurion Conversions and want to have the sticker, ebay is selling NOS of them: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Centurion-...647495&hash=item58dd633118:g:W8sAAOSwqIJeakgE

Thought about getting a pair myself and putting them on my 98 lol.

There was a Ducks Unlimited package back in the day as well? I do like the striping.

Totally forgot to even mention this info on the first post, for some reason I can't edit it.

What did most of the Conversions include? Here's what they could've had:
  • Wood trim interior
  • Side skirting (ground effects/full length fiberglass running boards)
  • Custom seats (cloth or leatherette); most seem to be 40x20x40 seats
  • Faded paint jobs or custom paint jobs
  • Slotted tail light covers
  • Aftermarket wheels (I think most 2WDs had aftermarket 15x10s; I think most 4WDs had the stock 16x7 saw blades)
  • Lund Sun/Moon Visor
  • Color matched bug shields, grille, bumpers, bed rail tubes, valance or etc.
  • Mood lighting
  • Radar scanners
  • Some could've came with a different style of color matched valance with lights or no lights in them.
The list goes on and on for them, but I think I've got the majority down on them. If anyone has anymore info on these conversion, be sure to let me know.

Edit: added some things.

noticed that switch on the overhead console that says slider window... is that for the rear cab window by chance?
