That would be an excellent truck to restore. Would love to see a solid Orange Highlander.

nice truck

**jocko** · 11-22-2016, 09:16 PM

Here's a hidden highlander for ya (they don't even know it's a C20, let alone a Highlander...). Even the price is hidden. But, seriously, pretty solid and original YG8 C20 in AZ (I'm guessing original plaid is still under the JC Whitney seat cover and it's POSSIBLY original paint (code matches what it currently is and is that an original dealer sticker on the tailgate?? Maybe not, seems too nice for original, but who knows...): http://tucson.craigslist.org/ctd/5887754557.html

And look Tim, no lower trim!!

Chulisohombre · 11-23-2016, 09:38 AM

That is pretty clean. No price on the cost on the cl ad either.

leadfoot067 · 11-23-2016, 11:21 AM

a 72 got delivered to my house a few days ago.it came to me for mechanical repairs.it has a plaid seat.will get pics in the daylight and get them posted.

They also have a blue/white 1974 Cheyenne Super shorty @ $22,795.00.

$17,795.00 for the blue C/20 Highlander. Are those the correct hub caps for it?

No wonder the dealer never called me back, they must not really want to sell it... (Caramba, that seems steep to me). Now, if it were a Custom Camper...

SS Tim · 11-23-2016, 07:25 PM

Way too much money for that C20 as it appears.

The wheelcovers shown were offered as RPO PA1 on 15" wheel equipped C10s (Pickup, Blazer or Suburban) in 72 (including Cheyenne Supers!) and were also included (as part of the package) on C10 Promo Package Highlanders YG6, YG7 or YG8.

So yes they are correct for a C10 Promo Package Highlander, but not this C20 being offered.

leadfoot067 · 11-23-2016, 10:15 PM

this truck belongs to a friend of a friend,its been sitting outside for years.makes me sad.it used to be extremely nice.he refuses to sell it..

That would be a nice truck. A big block with the YG8 Package and Monotone Dark Olive Paint. If it isn't too far gone it would nice to restore.

**Already Gone** · 11-23-2016, 10:29 PM

Tim, any idea ( and I'm thinking its impossible to find out ) how many Highlanders were produced by GM ? With 867 posts in this thread have you done a breakdown of how many of the various models of Highlander have been posted?

It has minimal rust. they are gonna resto it.its at my place for the mechanical part.

**Already Gone** · 11-26-2016, 10:14 PM

Here is a real short wheel base ( CE10734 ) Highlander on EBay now.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/401232563615...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

**jocko** · 11-26-2016, 10:54 PM

That's a nice one Greg, was looking at it on ebay earlier. A true shortie. Something seemed not quite right about the seats though - correct plaid and parchment and all that, but the panel size looks off to me. What stood out to me was the height of the upper vinyl panel above the plaid, looks about 4-5" too thick to me, and the seam location (looks like it's on top instead of in front) - anyone else seeing this or is it my imagination? The orange looks darker, almost a rusty color (the plaid I mean) but it may just be the lighting, because the pattern looks just right. Probably sounds like I'm nit-pickin, sorry - I'm not, that is a sweet truck, I really like it. Those aren't PA1s on there, but close though! I'd slap the correct ones on there, or, since I'm not a huge PA1 fan, maybe some PO1s (like yours Greg - I think it looks great like that) or PO3s for good measure. But I don't care, a swb highlander doesn't come along every day, would love to have this one for sure!

**72 Super** · 11-26-2016, 11:18 PM

The Orange truck was the one on EBay a few weeks ago. It was said to have been in storage and someone had stolen the interior. I'm not sure if it sold or not, but someone put some interior in it. The door panels looks nice from what I can see.

I'm just wondering is that a factory seat? Or something close. Looks like it comes up quite high in the rear window picture.
Either way I would love to own it.

Wow, good catch - I didn't even notice the overall seat height. Hmm.

**Already Gone** · 11-27-2016, 01:48 AM

You guys are right Post #829, and it has those same hubcaps on it. Same spid pic too.

SS Tim · 11-27-2016, 03:20 AM

Clearly a flipper and even being just registered in California (from AZ) I'd want to see the VIN plate/rivets and the frame partial VIN.

If the "original paint" claim is important, I'd be asking about the tape line on the SPID.

The seat is clearly a "creation" and a long way from correct.

Here are LINKS to the earlier post and auction.

Got to love the shorty highlanders. That my original color scheme too. Not sure about wheel choice. ha

mitchell72 · 11-27-2016, 01:57 PM

However, it is nice to see a truck that has the original radio and hasn't had speakers cut into the doors.

SS Tim · 11-27-2016, 02:38 PM

Welcome back! How is Shorty doing?

mitchell72 · 11-27-2016, 07:28 PM

Thanks Tim. Im down here in North Fontana now. Right now I'm rebuilding the stock 350. Its stock appearing on the outside, nothing special. Its a slow process, right now its about hunting down OEM style components like a water pump and fuel pump, everything else is accounted for. Also, I'm doing little things like painting the oil pan the correct color. (No chrome under this hood). It will take some time but I will post the updates on my build thread as progress is made.
