Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?

[DeadheadNM]

Why didn't GM USA record similar data?! Sigh...

[SS Tim]

Well done Larry! That is truely "Documented"! I only wish that service were available on US built and delivered trucks. But then a lot of trucks here (and up there even) probably wouldn't be Cheyenne Supers if they were tracable! For the $80 odd dollars that runs IIRC it is a great resource.
Thank You for posting the letter in full.

Thanks Tim for your expert feedback. This is a great resource for these trucks and I am glad to be part of it.

I already have the plaid cloth but I am ordering the parchment vinyl with scroll and piping from SMS Auto Fabrics and I am going to have it sewn up with the plaid stripes vertical as we discussed in another thread.

Just consigned our YG7 guacamole plaid yesterday with a classic car place in Dallas that is both an eBay seller and a brick and mortar showroom. Don't know what I'm allowed to say here, so watch for it.

Hope someone, or some couple, will enjoy many "Home Depot & ice cream" trips! (* no ice cream allowed INSIDE the truck)

613 green plaid bch trim

i was wondering why my truck has white seat belts and visors.

[Cyberlaw]

Posting up the SPID from my '72. If I understand everything I've read in this and other threads, it's a highlander, but I noticed that it doesn't say plaid on the SPID anywhere. It's got houndstooth inserts now, but I know that the seats have been redone. Can anyone confirm that the seats were originally plaid by looking at this?

[SS Tim]

Your truck is a YG8 Promo Package "C" Highlande. Originally it had a 618 Orange plaid seat in a 516 Orange truck with a 521 White roof painted in the Conventional Two-Tone scheme. This is exactly why we I started this thread to uncover former Highlanders, both Promo Package and Plaid trim upgrades, hidden by modification.

[SS Tim]

Found a claimed C10 Highlander ad without pictures. If someone is interested in a driving truck project and wants to run it down go for it. Don't forget to post pictures if you get them!

[Mapearso]

this one is on ebay right now

cool set of options on it

[SS Tim]

It was for sale this summer in Caddo Mills, TX on CL. IIRC was sold and in a lot of pieces.

Amazing the amount of incorrect fluff sellers put in adds!

[SS Tim]

Found a set of PA1 wheelcovers on CL here in CA down in LA.

For those of you with Promo Package C10 Highlanders, these were the stock covers. They will be listed on the SPID.
If you have a Highlander trim truck then it had the standard white painted hub caps unless an upgrade was ordered.

Considered a premium wheel cover, these "Special Wheel Covers" RPO PA1 could be ordered on any 72 C10 with most 15" tires.
Even a Cheyenne Super could be "upgraded" with these on an order!

I didn't know all of that. Thanks for sharing.

I have a set of those covers on my 72. Though, mine aren't in great shape. The black accents around the edges are totally gone.

I think they're pretty ugly caps, though. -_-

I think most people will agree with you that the PA1 Highlander wheel covers are ugly. I am putting a set of P01's ( like on the truck attached pic) on my Highlander.

Tim, sorry I haven't responded sooner. i was having trouble finding a picture of a plaid GMC I used to have, but did find one. No pictures of the SPID, this was many years ago. But, here is a link to a thread with a picture of the plaid '72 GMC shortbed I had:

EDIT: Too bad that picture is gone from that guy's Photobucket. Shoulda saved it. Oh well, I'll just have to have another rendering done for my painter...lol 3/26/17

[SS Tim]

Now thats funny! Thanks, Tim

I knew you'd see the humor . I kept seeing this title and considered the prank and finally went though with it

[Highlander72]

I have what I believe to be a "pre-promo package" Highlander. C10 Custom Deluxe, orange/white/orange, parchment belts/visors/door panels (painted black by some P.O.), black carpet, etc. Orange plaid inserts replaced with some other funky plaid inserts (I have a bolt of the original fabric to make a new seat cover, doesn't seem like it's very durable fabric!) but seat still has the embossed Parchment vinyl. Seat is listed as Highlander Plaid but there's no Promo package....I was trying to compile a list of VINs, I believe earlier trucks were listed like mine on the SPID before they came out with the Promo packages. I'll see if I can dig up the pics.

Took me a couple of days, but you know that looks like something Sandy Saver of Gold Bond Stamps might have had back in the day! :-)

There were both Highlander plaid trim trucks (offered since the begining of 72 production) and the later release Promo Package trucks that included the Highlander trim. The same trim codes are used on both. SPID descriptions vary some with plants as is the case with most options. However both were produced concurrently with the release of the Promo Package trucks. Promo Package trucks did not superceed the Highlander plaid trim trucks which were a stand alone upgrade of the Custom Deluxe trim.

While serial numbers are interesting they are not really helpful considering each plant had unique serial ranges. Thus a number of vehicles could be built with the same serial (sequence) number, but different actual build dates and probably models.

[Already Gone]

Here is the spid for my 1972. It has the 613 Code which gives the plaid seat and parchment interior trim and doesn't have a promo code. I have the original warranty card and protect plate and is was sold to the original purchaser July 5, 1972. SSTim I know you will read this so would the date the truck was built be on the broadcast sheet? It may be in the truck in the seat springs or under the carpet and as of yet I haven't looked.

This was the disassembled truck? I guess I can't keep track anymore

[Stickman]

I know Tim and I had conversed about it but don't remember If I ever posted the SPID. Here's a few pics. My IPad will only let post one pic at a time do I have to resize them and if so how do I do that so I can post a few more.
Thanks
