Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Blazer/Jimmy?
Is there an example of a different color plaid than the original body color?

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Blazer/Jimmy?
Took a closer pic, looks like “686” to me. The 524 orange and plaid orange interior look good to me from what I’ve found online. Thanks for confirming it’s a Highlander. Will go back to stock-ish on this one (eventually).

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Blazer/Jimmy?
More - good hose routing documentation. Note the passenger female belt with the plastic sleeve somehow got transferred to the rear seat.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Blazer/Jimmy?
Note the glue where the posi decal was located on the RH rear wheel tub. Also, spots on the floor pan where the rear bumper gravel guards and top to bedside brackets were painted.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Blazer/Jimmy?
At the plant I believe (Flint). I've seen other examples but haven't bothered to post them. St Louis painted the top to bedside brackets white so there's some plant to plant variation.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Blazer/Jimmy?
I first want to thank all members on the board for all the great info.
My Blazer has been parked since '97 and the last 9mos I've been wrenching to get it road worthy. First time on the road in 25yrs. yesterday! This website made the journey so much easier and enjoyable. Still alot more time and money to go. Trying to keep it relatively stock, except going with 33x10.5x15 mud terrains. It's pretty much unmolested, except by me. ![]() I don't think I have any pics from when I purchased, keep meaning to go looking in storage for old pics. I purchased my 72 in Arizona back around 1990. Stripped to bare metal around '92 and painted the wrong dark green 506 instead of green 505, disappointing. My front seats have been recovered, and rear seat is missing arms and rear feet. Built in St.Louis 02/72 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Blazer/Jimmy?
What a gem and bravo for hanging onto it all these years. Love that it had gray plaid.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Blazer/Jimmy?
Here's a St Louis example hugger orange w gray plaid and a black top. I perceive white paint beneath the thick dust on the wheel tub we'd expect on a St Louis example. Listed HERE on eBay.

That would be a great restoration project to include it's original 10.00-16.5 wheel option.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Blazer/Jimmy?
I am loving this thread! I've been looking for this interior pattern for years and thought I was nuts for remembering it in a friends Dad's truck when I was a kid.
this is the interior pattern I'm wanting to put in my Sonoma build. |

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Blazer/Jimmy?
Well optioned. Says special paint on the SPID so who knows. Looks like it may have been some shade of copper originally unless that is a replacement passenger door, Has orange highlander interior. Color changed to white at some point and mod bod graphics added later on.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Blazer/Jimmy?
Here's one now on BAT, red paint gray plaid. Plaid pattern appears horizontal across the front seats.

Also notice how the rear doesn't line up. It's skewed toward the right in the picture or toward the drivers side and the bottom one side has the white most line more toward the front of the vehicle than the other side. Bottom line is I don't think there was any standard for how they ran the material from day to day or whether it lined up or not. Probably depended on the individual tasked that time with sewing it together. They were just trying to be as productive as possible. Sometimes they cared and tried to line them up, some times they didn't. Maybe a new person was learning that day or maybe they didn't care or pay attention. Maybe someone grabbed a set of covers meant for a GMC that day and put them in a Chevy? You could get the plaid pattern in a GMC and the material was typically ran horizontally instead of vertically or so I have read. As an aside, I went to the Ford dealership today and was looking at the placement of the Kentucky Ford Truck plant decal in the upper right hand corner of the windshield. I had to take a picture of the entire row because not one of them was in the same place. Some were turned about 45 degrees either to the right or left, some were straight, some were closer to the top some were closer to the middle. No two were alike.
