This is by no means scientific but I have 42 Highlanders booked marked in file on my computer and 37 are Long Boxes and the other 5 Short WB. When you asked the question and before I checked my file I was thinking 90% LB and 10% SB so with 5 SB's out of 42 total that is 11.9% which think is pretty close.

**BlueBullet** · 01-10-2018, 08:34 PM

My '72 BB 1/2 ton Highlander has smog also.

**Ol Blue K20** · 01-10-2018, 12:56 AM

He must still be around. His last activity was 1/6/18

JDunz · 03-08-2018, 09:42 PM

Ok, updated info, spin shows leafs, truck has coils all the way around, shows to be 1972 3/4 ton with 6 hole drums all the way around.....

**DeadheadNM** · 01-10-2018, 12:51 PM

Joe the motor is CA smog AIR equipped but that's not called out on the SPID. Motor swap?

I believe the motor is original. It was sold new at O'rielly Chevrolet in Tucson Arizona. The motor code is TLM, and that's a '72 402 with A.I.R. I was under the impression all 72 1/2 ton 402's had smog? My 3/4 tons don't have smog

My knowledge base is really constrained to 4wds: you're probably correct on 72 1/2t BBs having AIR. I learn new info here all the time.

If you get time to weigh in with any anecdotes or photos re: smog/AIR equipment please weigh in here: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=750975

Stickman · 01-10-2018, 09:41 PM

Thanks Already Gone
So basically about 10%, I was just curious as I have a SWB.

**jocko** · 01-10-2018, 10:04 PM

Not sure why, but my gut feeling (and that's all it is) is that it's much less than 10% for swb. I've only seen 3 or 4, but have seen a lot of highlanders. I'd be really interested in the C10 vs C20 stats (if there were any), - and I've also always thought that theres seem to be a strangely high proportion of C20 Custom Campers that had the package or trim.

Reproduction Highlander Plaid seatcovers

Since I have been asked again about these, I decided to call Southwest Classics and update my threads.

Per a very helpful gal, Thosha, They offer custom made specific covers in all four insert colors.

As of today Pickups run $779 with the deletable scroll insert.

They are not currently listed on their website!

My brother just bought this super clean 1972 Highlander. This was an original new mexico truck and it is incredibly rust free. The previous owner bought it for the engine and parked it. My brother has a restored K20 chassis he is planning on swapping this body on. I know its not out of the ordinary but i thought it was a little odd seeing a Custom Deluxe Highlander with a manual trans and manual steering. Here are just a few pictures. The grill in the picture is just ratchet strapped on. Its not wrecked.

OOH! I missed this earlier somehow - wow, nice truck! Cool color combo. Don't think I've seen the deluxe white/yellow with gray yet.

Nice but we gotta see the seat! 👍

"I know its not out of the ordinary but I thought it was a little odd seeing a Custom Deluxe Highlander with a manual trans and manual steering." Your right it does deviate from the normal Auto Trans and Power Steering that most Highlanders had but back then you could order a truck "A La Carte" with any combo of options. You could order a Cheyenne Super witha 250 6 cyl engine and no power steering or power brakess if that is what you wanted.

JDunz · 03-07-2018, 10:47 PM

Been told this is a Highlander, please any info would be great, has the white(parchment door panels and seat belt, no dash pad, no tilt, badges show super custom, thanks
