Do you have a 1972 Plaid Blazer/Jimmy? - Page 14 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Piratenation** · 02-13-2022, 01:11 PM

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

I think sportbird was identical to feathers edition and eagle was different

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.

The decal package would be dealer installed so no SPID indication. They are actually quite common on Highlander trucks and blazers for some reason but are not related from an order standpoint. Is there any paperwork from the dealer in the glovebox about the decal package?

Nothing in the glovebox just the sport truck sticker. This K5 was road hard and put up wet.

Anyone know how much houndstooth material is needed to redo the highlander seats, front and rear?

john deere · 03-23-2022, 12:21 AM

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.

Been a while since ive posted, but does anyone have info on the ochre highlander early on in the thread? it appears to be yellow plaid but I thought they only made the 4 colors of plaid?

My guess is faded orange plaid.

Mine was very hidden, customized and stored years ago but thanks to this thread and great info, now know it was an Avocado Highlander!

Going to be putting it back to closer to stock, ordered the upholstery! Thanks!

What do you guys think on this SPID? Would this be an "A" code highlander K5

Dirt's72 · 06-11-2022, 09:00 AM

Does it have AC?

Yeah I believe that would make it a YG7 B package. More pictures?

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.

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.

Dirt's72 · 06-12-2022, 02:19 PM

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

Cool, thanks for the feedback! I'm sure it looked nice freshly built. MIT will get rescued and rebuilt to factory specs or custom.

Oh yeah, I like seeing pictures also. It seems all the parts needed are so hard to find in CA for blazers unless you have deep pockets. I'm going to sell it.

**DeadheadNM** · 06-13-2022, 03:40 PM

Here's a nice Flint Highlander loaded YG8 promo package example

Stray10up · 06-13-2022, 06:06 PM

That's an awesome looking blazer Deadhead! Thanks for sharing.

Dirt's72 · 06-13-2022, 07:41 PM

Nice one Pete!

m7vasque · 06-27-2022, 01:15 AM

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.
