Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
Thanks for the SPID picture. Clarity helps so much. Mostly what I expected, but the Custom Camper emblems and roof lights really add to it nicely.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
No "Custom/20" & "Deluxe" fender emblems would be correct for your truck as well as the "8 350"s.
Sorry about that, shouldn't have written "Custom Camper" since your truck clearly was not optioned with them (Z81). They were emblems offered on trucks that meet specific minimum equipment requirements, but actually added nothing other than the emblems, on the doors for 72.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
News Flash - Southwest Classics was sporting Highlander seat covers for sale WITH the correct scrolling at the Fort Worth Goodguys show. Although the price is about what I spent having a correct scrolled one made, and although the tag says "special order", this is the first time I've ever seen highlander plaid covers over the counter or a case where you could just pick up the phone and say "gimme a 72 blue plaid seat cover with scrolls" and they could make it happen. Interesting, and a good sign. For reference, contact is Tony Farmer 682-323-4812 www.swclassics.net

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
As of what I can find, all they make is blue plaid. Is this true?

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
Nice, and a shorty too - not very common. At $10k with lots of bids and reserve not met, it aint gonna be cheap. Seller does not seem to know or, at the very least, isn't mentioning, it's a highlander. Folks that do usually play it up a bit (I would). That's a nice one.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
Nice original Highlander with YG7 Package on EBay. Too bad a dealer is selling it because it could probably have been bought pretty reasonable from the farmer that sold it to the dealer.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
Tim...here's a question that may have been asked before:
If you ordered a Highlander optioned truck...and you added 'bucket seats' to the order, what did you get for an interior? Thanks Coley

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
You could not order Highlander buckets in a pickup.
The root issue is Chevrolet did not offer the A50 bucket seat option with the Z62 Custom Deluxe option in pickups. Since Highlander Plaid was an upgrade option to and required Z62 Custom Deluxe it should be easy to see the conflict. If you wanted A50 buckets then you ordered a base truck or upgraded to Cheyenne or Cheyenne Super trim. They all used the same all vinyl seat covers. But they could not be upgraded to Highlander Plaid by the book. However Blazers with the Z84 CST trim were offered the Highlander Plaid trim upgrade option. Since bucket seat truck cabs were specific, it wasn't a simple matter of a dealer swapping benches for buckets to make a customer happy. About the closest you could have come in a pickup would be to have ordered Z84 Cheyenne Super trim and A50 Bucket seats. Then replaced the seats/covers with Blazer spec parts.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
That's a cool highlander - why do you expect it's a custom camper?

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
Copy thanks. All those items could be had without checking the Z81 box on the order form. I didn't see any tell tale trim holes for the cc nameplate on the door, so was wondering if you had perhaps seen the SPID and the holes had been filled, etc. A perfectly capable camper hauler, anyway, that's for sure. Z81 only got you the cool cc script nameplate in 72/fender nameplate in 66-71 and cowl nameplate in 65.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
It's also fotbthe wide camper mirrors. But anything could have been dealer optioned. Only the spid would know for certain. It's pretty nice though. Don't like the speaker spots on the door panels though.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
Camper mirrors were a factory option and would be on the SPID as well as a Custom Camper option if selected - the mirrors are not connected to or required for a Custom Camper.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
The truck linked in post 818 has been sold.
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...&postcount=818 Other than the clearly apparent 525 Light Yellow paint and 613 Avocado Plaid trim there isn't much to go on. The extensive repaint likely covers a number of molding, emblem and trim holes.
