Is the seat still in it?

Yes, the seat is in it & someone at some point put a cover on it.

I like the truck because it has leaf springs vs. coils.

For sale in WI (not mine)

I think that truck is just a Custom Deluxe with the plaid seat added. I had the previous owner send me spid and don't recall highlander option on it. And at that time it didn't have that seat in it.

No spid in the description and no mirrors to tell the difference...

It has the parchment door panels, black carpet and white seat belts so I'm guessing it is a Highlander truck

Thanks!
Looks like that C20 has been sold (did you buy it?). We mentioned it earleir in posts 295, 286 and 284.

The plaid trucks have been a long term effort of mine to bring out facts about them and uncover all those "Hidden Highlanders" out there.

Still looking for an interior picture of a Black with Orange Plaid Highlander.

Have a SPID but the seat cover in that truck was long gone.
To add to its unique colors it is a YG8 (promo package C) Janesville truck with the center justified "Deluxe" emblem.

Nice 1/2t c pkg on ebay (not mine). Someone give this man a steering wheel! http://www.ebay.com/itm/Chevrolet-C-...3D221747265135

Looked at this returning ad and just realized its probably a Hidden Highlander. Might even be a YG6 Promo Package "A" given the upper/belt molding and DG4 mirrors. BB/4speed/C20

Found this one last week for sale, YES, I'm trying to buy it. However, seat is not plaid anymore, tilt column replaced, most A/C pieces gone, parchment door panels painted black along with the rest of the blue on the inside. All fixable. Owner has no idea it's a Highlander though.....tee hee. Bottom trim is woodgrain. I seem to recall something in the last 13 pages about that but don't remember what the deal is with black/woodgrain. Was it just up to the buyer which one they got? And it's got the ultra rare Cargo Lamp.......lol. I'd already have it but no where to keep it or park it......out of space and can't find a rental garage around here. But I'm working on that (and the missus!). Seen a lot of Medium Blue on here, no Dark Blue......unless I missed it.

A quick request to those of you that post CL/ebay URLs, please include pics from that post since the posts usually disappear quickly and those of us late to the game don't get to see whatever was in the ad. Thanks!!

I must admit, I used to think the highlander seat covers were hideous. But you guys, this site and all these pictures have made me a fan of the highlander package!

[richeilers]

^^^^ me too ^^^^ especially now that I might be able to get one....

A buddy of mine who is heavily into new German car stuff (ie: Silver Potato City) always laughs at the highlander interior of my truck. He thinks that plaid, '70's thing is really tacky and laughable.
As a result, when I get around to redoing my interior (Highlander bench seat) I'm going to order a bunch of extra highlander material and have a pair of slacks and a suit jacket made up to go with the truck....that will 'fix his wagon' and show him who has style around here....lol. (Oh yeah....plus pick up a pair of white dress shoes and a Johnny Miller sport shirt to go with that outfit...lol)
All Good
