Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Blazer/Jimmy?
Is there an example of a different color plaid than the original body color?

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Blazer/Jimmy?
For this one it looks as if the third character from the trim RPO was a 6 as in 686 orange. It’s a good question, off hand I’m not recalling any orange K5s with gray, green, or blue plaid but they’re all blending together as time creeps by

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Blazer/Jimmy?
Took a closer pic, looks like “686” to me. The 524 orange and plaid orange interior look good to me from what I’ve found online. Thanks for confirming it’s a Highlander. Will go back to stock-ish on this one (eventually).

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Blazer/Jimmy?
More - good hose routing documentation. Note the passenger female belt with the plastic sleeve somehow got transferred to the rear seat.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Blazer/Jimmy?
Note the glue where the posi decal was located on the RH rear wheel tub. Also, spots on the floor pan where the rear bumper gravel guards and top to bedside brackets were painted.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Blazer/Jimmy?
At the plant I believe (Flint). I've seen other examples but haven't bothered to post them. St Louis painted the top to bedside brackets white so there's some plant to plant variation.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Blazer/Jimmy?
I first want to thank all members on the board for all the great info.
My Blazer has been parked since '97 and the last 9mos I've been wrenching to get it road worthy. First time on the road in 25yrs. yesterday! This website made the journey so much easier and enjoyable. Still alot more time and money to go. Trying to keep it relatively stock, except going with 33x10.5x15 mud terrains. It's pretty much unmolested, except by me. I don't think I have any pics from when I purchased, keep meaning to go looking in storage for old pics. I purchased my 72 in Arizona back around 1990. Stripped to bare metal around '92 and painted the wrong dark green 506 instead of green 505, disappointing. My front seats have been recovered, and rear seat is missing arms and rear feet. Built in St.Louis 02/72 |

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Blazer/Jimmy?
What a gem and bravo for hanging onto it all these years. Love that it had gray plaid.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Blazer/Jimmy?
Here's a St Louis example hugger orange w gray plaid and a black top. I perceive white paint beneath the thick dust on the wheel tub we'd expect on a St Louis example. Listed HERE on eBay.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Blazer/Jimmy?
I am loving this thread! I've been looking for this interior pattern for years and thought I was nuts for remembering it in a friends Dad's truck when I was a kid.
this is the interior pattern I'm wanting to put in my Sonoma build. |
