Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
clearly the seller stumbled on this website... I'd agree $22k is a little out there - but when someone lists, then relists with a massive bump like that, kinda chaps my lug nuts. Whatever. It's a $22k truck if someone will pay that much. (EDIT: I'm an idiot - I thought Greg's post said it went from 16.9 to 22k... Disregard, I'm gonna go break out my crayons and coloring books) I'd argue that, yes, it's a VERY nice truck, but(!) unless you've witness all of us raving over highlander plaid, it is just a C20 Custom Deluxe in great shape. In its great condition, I'd say $7-13k is a reasonable, and wide, range. $22k is hype in my book. I guess, if we were smart, we'd start a thread on how ugly the plaid interiors are and really make em sound like something nobody would want.... Hmmm.

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?

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?
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?
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?
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?
This is my cousins 72 highlander. The lucky dog got it for $400 dollars from our neighbor who thought the motor was frozen. We brought it home and put some gas down the carb and it fired right up. We drove the wheels off it for about 2 years and we never knew it was a highlander. It was only until I was waiting for him in the truck and decided to look at the spid that I realized what it was

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
O.K. guys. I just ran across this 1972 truck and I started investigating the SPID and I think I have a highlander. If possible I need to know for sure before I start restoring. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks. |

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?

However in it's current form the truck is very different visually than it was originally, as built.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
Tim, what is your point about the mileage. On a 6 digit speedo with the last being in white showing the 10th of a mile after the truck hit 99999.9 the next would be all 0's and then start counting again. So 00127.5 would be 100,127.5 but would show as pictured at 00127.5.. Am I missing something here ?
