Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
Jocko's post is excellent and on-point as always. Just want to call attention to the recently posted SPID that indicates a Janesville build and as such the truck wouldn't have the Custom Camper door emblems located as shown, which was Flint specific. Also, as a Janesville build the Custom Deluxe emblem would be centered under the C20 fender emblem correct?

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
Bingo Pete! Yes, J=centered emblems and I forgot which plant did the off-norm Custom Camper placement - was really just going for the color sample and cc combo, but great point. Spacing should be like below for Janesville (and all others except Flint).
Btw, funny story on the Orange Custom Camper (the first and second pics in the earlier post are actually from different trucks. The one I posted the picture of the door was a truck I saw at the annual Brothers show a while back. Beautiful truck, and it was a highlander - but the guy had replaced the plaid inserts with some gold crushed velvet. Looked ridiculous. I asked to see the SPID, saw the Pkg C callout, and plaid, etc - and he STILL swore his gold velvet was factory original restored 100% to original. There's always one in every crowd... The money he spent on this thing was unbelievable and it was gorgeous - but he didn't know his truck and sure wasn't open to any polite questions about it either. Wouldn't let me take a pic of the SPID after that either. ![]() Many I hope someone grabs and restos the solid orange one we're talkin about, that's a great combo. |

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
Pete, That was great! The fact people are catching these details gives me hope the black primer red guts crowd won't win.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
Hidden Highlander alert. Most people don't go out of their way to "add" PA1 wheel covers... So, if I were a betting man, I'd say this is a heavily altered highlander - but they managed to retain the parchment door panels and the PA1s... I bet it's got plaid on the SPID! http://www.ebay.com/itm/Chevrolet-C-...m=231915859963

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
Thanks Jocko!
"Fully restored 1972 custom built Chevrolet C10 pickup truck." Could be anything but you are right those wheelcover are pretty much seen only on PromoPackage Highlanders. While they were optional on all C10s (and twice the price of P01s) we don't see many so "upgraded". But I do know of a Super that was, so they are out there.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
Found this nice YG8 Package Highlander on Ebay today. Interesting to me this says 613 Custom Trim for the seat code and my truck says 613 Green Plaid for the trim code. The Ebay truck was a Baltimore build and mine is a Janesville build. I find these little anomalies between production plants interesting.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
Nice truck! SPID anomalies abound, for the most part Baltimore didn't trim code their trucks. Highlander trim and Promo Package Highlander were amomg the few that were.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
Yep, saw that one - beautiful truck. I wonder if the seller, who makes sure you know it's a highlander, knows that the major things that make it a Highlander are all missing.. Plaid seat, parchment panels, PA1s, etc. PA1s missing is pretty common though. It is a great looking truck.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
Nice find Ray! Gray Plaid /604 if anyone is curious.
So what is the story? Find it roaming in the wild or is it offered up for sale and listed somewhere?

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
It's the rare "Custome Camper" rather than the much more common Custom Camper... Is that SPID like a 2-headed penny and, therefore, somehow worth more?

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
Just a Baltimore anomaly, have another just like this with both the Z62 CUSTOME DELUXE EQUIP and Z81 CUSTOME CAMPER EQUIP as well as other Z81 CUSTOME CAMPER EQUIP SPIDs. No worries there!

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
Found another "Hidden Highlander" this morning.
After running down the details here it is for you to see. http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv...580132128.html Unfortunately it isn't the Custom Deluxe/30 I'd hoped for nor a 20 series Longhorn. But it does turn out to be an original L47 402 truck with lots of options including "Custom Camper" emblems. Being a YG8 Promo Package truck it had all the goodies along with a 618 Orange Plaid seat and 458 Deluxe Two-Tone (Hugger Orange). While the ad states its a C30 it isn't and the engine might still be the original 402 (subject to verification). Seller stated on the phone that the plaid seat is still present under the slip cover. Hopefully we can find this a good home and return it to its original glory.
