Some background on my dads old square.

Hey guys i figured you would enjoy seeing a few pics of my dads 78, my grandfather was the first owner of it and my dad got it in 1981 as a graduation present. i believe it had a TH350/305 combo new and it was burgundy in color. its still the original color but its been repainted a few times and the last time was in the late 80's

Heres a picture of it from 1985 back in its heyday when my dad had a pretty built motor in it. It had some camel humps that were machined out pretty good and cam/headers with a qjet. made about 300 hp but that was pretty decent for a truck back in those days.


Later in its life it got tired from my dad driving it on a daily basis and really beating on it quite often. the transmission and the rear end was blown so he decided to start from scratch again. he sold the motor and junked the the rest of the drivetrain and used the frame out of an old work truck that his friend had and made it 4x4. had a basically stock 350 with a 4 speed manual in it after that and thats the way it remains, he used it as a plow truck for a while but retired it from plowing duty later on.



The lates work that has been done to it was a fresh 350 and front and rear axles, new tires, repainted his old rallys, inner fenders, and new exhaust.
ever since then it has been sitting behind my uncles house in New Brunswick and thats probably where it will stay. we live out in alberta now and my dad says he really has no desire to go back and get it.
