Re: Montana to Kansas the EAGLE has landed
A guy I pass during work everyday has a similar one sitting in his field that hasn't moved in a few years. I stopped and looked at it the other night and it had the highlander seat and a similar paint job but minus the eagles head. I wonder if it's one of these trucks it's white with a broken pattern down the side that looks a little like this truck. Anyway a neighbor told me the guy is selling the lot and the building on the lot and assumes the truck will be scrapped. I'll have to get a pic and see if anyone thinks it's worth saving. I'm not interested in it but maybe someone else is.

Re: Montana to Kansas the EAGLE has landed
Dang Randy, I dunno...I would consider keepin the 8 track and CB..just for posterity..If not-throw em in a box-I'll pay shipping! If I were in your shoes and had a decal set that much intact I would go down to a lettering shop and have them make a new one using yours as a guide out of vinyl. May be worth something to someone..heck, maybe you could start reproducing them...?! Just a thought..super sweet score, my man.

Re: Montana to Kansas the EAGLE has landed
Randy, the truck looks awesome! If I were you I would detail it, get it running and cruise it one summer. Then decide what to do with it.

Re: Montana to Kansas the EAGLE has landed
Hey Randy, Got your PM.
I don't think I can add much to what has been said. One code for the highlander is YG8. Mine (1972) actually says YG8 with a blank discription. It is a group C For a 3/4 ton it should have chrome hub caps, door edge guards and the upper trim (group A). Everything else looks correct for the highlander except no spid code. I assume the visors and dash pad are both black. The upper trim could have been deleted due to the added decal. I did not think that the plaid seat came in anything but a highlander although this is one unique truck. I think more research is needed. |

Re: Montana to Kansas the EAGLE has landed
Thanks Denny, its a different one thats for sure. Visors are parchment. I thought it was weird having the blue plaid bench seat on the spid. Randy

Re: Montana to Kansas the EAGLE has landed
Randy, You have a Fremont California built truck so there is a very good chance you have the original build sheet behind the seat back or under the seat. Mark

Thanks Randy for buying this rare truck .. From all the reading on it I sorta feel like part owner.. LOL ,,Really,,I and others would of never come close to seeing this rare truck and chatting about all the options if you hadn't bought it for us.. Plus it now sticks in my mind that there were 3 different pkgs of Longhorns.. Do you think you could send it around to all of us and let us autograph it like that that chicken of ET's ? of course we would have to sign it on the frame so not to ruin the Eagle Decal.. just kidding ,,I like that you are going to shelf it for awhile before deciding what to do with it ..GP Larry

Re: Montana to Kansas the EAGLE has landed
Mark, good call but it was between the gas tank cover and tank, Found 4 more 8 tracks too!!!!! This thing still has the clear plastic over the seat belts under the seat and the seat slides forward with ease, not my kind of truck
![]() Larry, thats a good idea on passing it around BUT ![]()

Re: Montana to Kansas the EAGLE has landed

Re: Montana to Kansas the EAGLE has landed
Neat, I have a 72 Cheyenne Super SWB with the Feathers decal on it. Do you happen to have any paperwork from the dealer showing the Eagle decal install on it? These were not installed at the factory as far as I know.
Thanks Bob

Re: Montana to Kansas the EAGLE has landed
As mark said, fremont, it seems alot of those trucks ended up with the build sheet saved... my brothers 72 still has the original build sheet with it as well, and it ended up a long way from fremont- other side of the country
