Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Blazer/Jimmy?
I just picked up this YG8 earlier this week. Its in really rough shape but I plan to restore the inside to original as I can. Not quite sure what I am going to do with the body as it's almost completely gone.

A few more pictures. Can't tell if this is a Hickey tire carrier or not

Looks like it was an eagle truck as well! Very cool

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Blazer/Jimmy?
I saw the the "Sportbird By Chevy" sticker but didn't think that the "Feathers/Sportbird/Eagle" could be optioned with a Highlander trim Blazer. Is there anything on my SPID that says it? It was originally white but at one point it was painted black and an orange drivers door was put on.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Blazer/Jimmy?
Anyone know how much houndstooth material is needed to redo the highlander seats, front and rear?

Email SMS fabrics and they can give you a good idea. They told me a couple years ago, but I have forgotten. I dont know if they are taking phone calls again.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Blazer/Jimmy?
My guess is faded orange plaid.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Blazer/Jimmy?
Mine was very hidden, customized and stored years ago but thanks to this thread and great info, now know it was an Avocado Highlander!

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Blazer/Jimmy?
If it were one of the promo package Highlanders the YGx RPO would be called out on the SPID (see post #322 above). To me this appears as a nice St Louis assembled blue plaid highlander non-promo package. I’m not sure if any St Louis assembled K5s were promo pack examples.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Blazer/Jimmy?
The blazer is missing seats and has had some modifications done by th PO. What other pictures would help to determine specifics of the truck? Thanks.

We just like seeing pictures in general. What are your plans for it?

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Blazer/Jimmy?
This one a Highlander? Just picked up this project. Doesn’t explicitly state “Highlander” on the SPID. From what I could make out on the worn out SPID:
Flint built (Z84) Cheyenne equipment ?(686) Custom Trim Combination (YG8) Special Promotional Unfortunately the original rear bench seat was recovered and the front seats are long gone. Currently in primer. On the fence between going back to mostly original or custom. |
