Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?

Here is a possible Highlander, it looks hammered:

I've seen a lot worse. Without seeing the spid it's hard to Tell if it could be a real Highlander or just a promo packaged truck. 2 grand ain't bad if you got the other ten to restore it to its former glory. Looks to have the colorectal door panels and dash cap and seat pattern though

Door panels are right color but steering column should be black if its a Highlander but it could have been changed over the years especially if it had tilt. The seat is right and the dash pad should ben black also but it has cloth cover over it.

[Chulisohombre]

On my phone the dash pad looked black. Couldn't tell It was cloth. The column could have been changed like you said.

Depending on how much this truck has been futzed with it MIGHT be a Hidden Highlander. Black trim bits, carpet and painted white door panel are a strong suggestion. In any event it would be interesting to see the SPID, more so if it is a 519 Dark Yellow as well.

Too bad it's missing some of the dogdish caps.

This one sold at Mecum Kansas City, SPID showed Orange Plaid, $6250 was the sold price. Very rusty.

That has been up before or was it a private review? No matter! The painted weatherstrips give pause as to what other surprises are hiding under that paint.

welcome Brent - thanks for sharing. Real nice highlander you have there, and a pkg c truck to boot! - dk green is not a common color for highlanders (because of the interior color options) - most seemed to go with one of the olive paint options with the avocado plaid. Yours looks great and the colors go together well. For the PA1 cap, I THINK they are common with a few early 70's cars, or perhaps they're just close. Anyone know if that is true? Again, welcome to the site.

I'm supposed to have the green plaid seat.
Somewhere down the road someone installed this gold velour, and bright red vinyl bench seat.
Strange color combination.

I keep the doors closed as it's quite embarrassing.
Pretty sure it came out of an old clown car.

Seriously, who picks these colors?

Here s a pretty original unmolested Highlander in Denver.

I like it. Don't see many white. The moldings are just the opposite of mine. Mine has upper and no lower. This has lower and no upper....

Does look good in solid White.

Here is an original Highlander that has been worked over pretty good. I wasn't 100% sure at first but even on the fuzzy spid pic you can see where it says "parchment trim"

[SS Tim]

A factory Highlander will never say "Parchment" in the trim description. Generally its "Custom Trim Combination" or the insert plaid color like "Blue Highlander", "Green Plaid" or "Avocado Plaid".

Sorry this one isn't, IMHO, from what I can read of that SPID (which is very little). Even the seller states its a 626 Parchment Trim in his added SPID breakout.

Overall a nice looking Custom Deluxe/10. If the repaint is metallic, as stated, its the wrong color. Original paint was 505 non-metallic Dark Green and White in the Conventional Two-Tone pattern.

You are right, "Parchment Trim " doesn't make it a Highlander. I guess I had a brain fart there.

Here's a Highlander for sale in east Texas (not mine). No picture of the SPID to confirm but in one of the photos you can see the interior with the plaid seat cover intack.

[Pumpgas69]

Would this be a Highlander? Found it last weekend, asked if it was for sale and if we could look at it. I am still learning what it takes to make a Highlander.

The lady I spoke with said to make an offer, it is her father in laws truck. It was pretty rough. What I thought was strange was that it was a C-20 but only had a 2bbl carburetor.

THAT is a nice highlander. Pkg C truck, C20 Custom Camper with camper wiring, Aux Tank, etc etc. And it's a conventional 2-tone, my personal favorite combo (white top only). Real nice truck. if the price is right, it's definitely worth restoring. The orange seat is so faded I was expecting to see gray plaid on the SPID! Ha. More pics if possible - this is a very nice one. Here's some pics for motivation (would look a lot like the 2nd pic, but without the white in the middle, and would have the NL2 aux tank spout, and some real truck mirrors!):
(EDIT: OOPS! It's a solid red-orange, not a conv two-tone - corrected 2nd pic). If you don't snatch this thing up, someone should.

[SS Tim]

Thanks for posting your find!
Clearly it is a Custom Deluxe/20 Highlander (618) and a Promo Package "C" (YG8) as well. So it has all the bundled goodies! Orange Plaid (618) and solid Hugger Orange exterior are big pluses to me without the distraction of any two-tone white.

The listed engine (LS9) was a four bbl 350. So if it has a two bbl you are looking at an intake swap if not an engine change. The block stamped engine assembly code is a good place to start trying to ID the engine.
More pictures are certainly welcome!! :-)

As always, don't let a "find" tempt you to accept paper promises. Make sure it has a title you can transfer.
