Jeff,

You are right, that is a tilt steering column.

I wonder if the beer cans come with the truck?

What is a highlander model?

Thanks.

Highlander was a '72 only thing, and an interior upgrade; a kind of special package offered. They came with an insane cloth insert plaid seat and some other little treats like badging under the series number on the fenders. From what I've seen, you could only get 4 colors too; blue, orange, green (called avocado), and gray. (note the green plaid seat peeking out from under the cover in one of the pics.).

Here is a link to a highlander seat on ebay right now to give you a better idea of what to look for. Not a bad price either!

As Adam states it included the plaid seat but also got you carpeting and the Custom Deluxe trim package as well. In addition, there were 3 levels of packaged options, though I forget the specifics. Level 1 was automatic plus special wheel covers, etc, level 2 included the tilt, and level 3 included a/c. If this has a tilt it's a level 2 truck, hence the odd combo of tilt, PS, auto on an I6 truck w/o Power brakes.

Looks good for the current bid. What is the story behind the fan shoud? I have never seen a 250 with a fan shoud. Is that a factory peice? Did GM start installing them in 72?

**CPNE** · 12-30-2003, 12:03 PM

Automatic I6's got full shrouds. It looks like a complete original to me.

well no sh*t, I didn't know that GM put full shouds on auto I-6's either! guess I'll have to go back and take a closer look! didn't even notice the first time!
