That's a great looking truck. I'd do some serious investigation into it if I were looking into it. Looks like it has pre-72 doors - so perhaps it's had more than just a repaint to add the white center band.

I would love to see the spid on the Cheyenne Highlander too. I would call that a " dream truck" built the way he wanted it.

**jocko** · 01-28-2017, 12:20 PM

The guy in the vid is so full of baloney, I couldn't even finish watching. Truck is far from original. NICE truck, but it's resto-home-made. Nothing wrong with that except for the fact he keeps pounding it's 100% original. It's not.

**DeadheadNM** · 02-01-2017, 11:45 PM

Thanks for sharing!

**Cali72K20** · 02-03-2017, 08:49 PM

Check the seat pictures and I see white and black plaid, PO1 hub caps, A/C, looks like it came with sport mirrors originally, need to see the SPID.

Since one used to not be able to get re-pop highlander plaid, the old torn up ones are usually original to the truck. PO1s would have been special ordered/added later as PA1s were standard on a 1/2 ton. Mirrors look a little out there! Good find. Ochre is one of my favorite colors, but about the only plaid that works (for me) in it the black/white version. Have seen orange plaid in an ochre truck and it made me feel a little queasy. And it was a nice looking truck too.

**Already Gone** · 02-08-2017, 03:11 AM

Here is one on EBay now. Over the years its had a complete make over but started life as a Baltimore build 572 White roof and medium blue body ( could be wrong on the paint scheme and blue name ) and 611 Blue Plaid seat but the cab lights are factory.

Found this on Craigslist the other day. I ask the guy to send me a picture of under the seat cover and it confirmed my suspicions. This is now my second highlander. I posted my other one on here about 2 years ago.

elks · 03-02-2017, 07:02 PM

I think mine qualifies for this thread...

Well here is my 72. It was my grandpas and he bought new in 1973. Other than an after market radio (luckily no cut dash) and speakers in the doors it is a clean original. I have the block on a stand in the shop and motor in it was a fresh rebuild. It was repainted once. I am working up the final additions to the motor and doing fluids etc. After that it will be time to start body.

Also a few other gems for this.... An old unused can of 30 weight, a vintage spotlight, The original owners manual and emission control booklet. The original loan paperwork signed by grandparents. A 1976 visitors pass to ZION national park and a 1976 map of Zion Park.... Etc.

**jocko** · 02-18-2017, 02:32 PM

Holy frijoles! Look at that SWEET old Titan! Nice Highlander too vette442, you can get a replacement seat, with the scroll work etc from Tim (member Truckseats) if you're interested. I know it's not a highlander, but if you happen to have any more pics of the semi, I'd love to see em....

Ed F · 02-18-2017, 03:19 PM

Those are both nice looking trucks. You said your vinyl is in good shape. Mine was too but the plaid was bare threads. I bought the plaid from SMS and had it sewn into the original vinyl by a local upholstery guy.

Thanks for the seat cover tip (you too, Ed F.). I heard years ago that some suppliers weren't getting the scroll right, but I'll look into both options. SMS cloth was going to be my plan.

If nobody minds, I'll indulge Jocko with a few pics of the '79 Astro/95. 175k original miles, was inside a Detroit warehouse from 1984 to 2013. Didn't run at that time and was sold to a scrapper, but was rescued and revived by a classic truck dealer in Lisbon, OH. Prior owner was a Yellow Freight service manager, so it's completely roadworthy. I'm no diesel mechanic or driver, just a guy who has wanted a rig from the 1970s since the 1970s, so this type of truck is perfect for me.

**rustytruck50** · 02-19-2017, 12:39 PM

That Astro 95 is too cool...back in the good old days when GM handled everything up to the big trucks.

**jocko** · 02-19-2017, 04:32 PM

That's AWESOME! Thanks for the extra pics, much appreciated!

**JQ-72** · 02-20-2017, 07:12 PM

SS Tim, Your PM box is full! I need to get in contact with you.

**JQ-72** · 03-02-2017, 09:42 PM

Nice truck... and T-shirt!

**Chevyland** · 03-02-2017, 11:31 PM

Very cool stuff.
Look up threads on buffing that old paint out.
That looks to be a very solid truck with little rust.

You will save a bunch of money, and people will be coming up to you everyday asking about it.

I'm glad you got it AND are keeping it👍👍👍

The truck has jut a little rust on the inner and outer rockers and a little rust on the cab corners. I need to get them done for sure. In the bed it has 2 spots of rust and just a little bit by the storage box.

**Already Gone** · 03-04-2017, 05:52 AM

Here is one for sale in British Columbia. I emailed the seller asking what engine was in the truck considering he states in his ad that the Big Block has been removed. He emailed back saying there is no motor in the truck so the truck is probably not for me. He is correct especially at his asking price. Sorry no spid but I'm very sure this truck is a highlander.

Nice find!
Is that cluster original to a '72 with all those options?
