To me it is a bonus option to find on a truck but not really an "added value" enhancement. While some combinations are very rarely found it doesn't make them typically more valuable to most potential buyers.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
...lol, yep hard to say if the entire highlander look was a good thing or not.
I have a buddy of mine who thinks it (the plaid) is the tackiest thing he has ever seen. I have been threatening to have an entire suit made out of the highlander plaid material when I have the seat redone....and get an extra pair of pants made for him personally....lol. All Good Coley

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
yeah they are definitely an acquired taste for those of us that do like them. i get some weird looks and responses just to the ochre and white paint job from the factory that i want to redo let alone the grey plaid interior.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
Here is another and it looks to be unmolested YG8 Package Highlander even having the PA1 hubcaps. He is asking, shall we say, all the money for the truck. Got a question on this one and SSTim probably has the answer. Would the factory have painted the tailgate letters yellow?

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
On Custom and Custom Deluxe trim level pickups optioned with the Deluxe Two-Tone paint (coded 4XX), the tailgate letters were the primary body color. So in this case the Light Yellow letters are correct.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
Thanks for that info Tim. I know this is off Highlander topic a touch but does that mean the Cheyennes and Cheyenne Supers had primary body colour letters as well?

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
This truck is a long from "as delivered", aftermarket A/C is certainly justifiable down in Houston on those 99*/99% summer days.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
Cheyennes and Cheyenne Supers included woodgrained tailgate appliques covering the debossed lettering visable on Custom and Custom Deluxe tailgates.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
Nice looking 85. I was going to Say truckseats vender in here as well. I don't have any clue besides him where to get the correct fabric.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
Or SMS has the fabric and you can have it sewn locally. I got green from back in March and we cut the stitches from the original and sewed in the new keeping the original vinyl.

So here is a question for the Highlander group....of which I am one:
If you needed your seat redone would you consider maybe using the 'Cheyenne' type cloth material in place of the highlander plaid in order to update (arguably improve?) the interiors appearance?...or would you absolutely stick with the plaid? I have been considering this when I get my seat redone...but I'm still on the fence with this. I don't really mind the appearance and I think for the better part, I simply don't think about it all that much....but I do get a kick out of the comments it (the plaid) gets and it has me looking more closely at the appeal of the highlander material in my own mind. I don't think it would change the history of the truck, etc and it could be changed back at some point....regardless, what do you think?....are you lovin' that plaid? All Good Coley ![]()

Interesting point Colin. I have original buckets with the console and new foam for my Highlander and next is to order the seat covers. My plan is to order the green plaid covers like used on Blazers but weren't available for pickups. I do have thoughts of maybe going with the scroll parchment seat covers instead or like you the Cheyenne cloth. I'm thinking as I'm scraping the money together for the covers.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
Quote:
a couple of poins to remember are that the Blazer Highlander was based on the CST~Cheyenne trim and not the Custom Deluxe as the Pickup and Suburban Highlanders were. Chevrolet didn't offer bucket seat upgrades on Custom Deluxe pickups. Base truck buckets were offered as well as the Cheyenne and Supers (using Cheyenne vinyle seats). In fact Highlander Blazers were the only CK series trucks offered with cloth insert buckets. All those Houndstooh buckets are aftermarket creations. If you simply must install bucket seats, remember the floor cross brace/reinforcement (p/n 3990368) is an important component to bring the floor to factory A50 specs.

In a sea of fake Cheyenne Supers, a Highlander plaid stands out (good or bad). :-)

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
Stay stick plaid. It looks awesome to me and just stands out more than the plain vinyl.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
That looks like factory paint in the pic but the spid says orange red and white. Is there evidence of repaint ?
