I think I requested a sample from them about 10 days ago, have not received it yet. I'll try again. How about the white vinyl material, would they sell that too? I have a real good upholsterer in Mexico that would do my seat for about $150, just need to get the material.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
Found this one on EBay today. Interesting in that its a non-package Highlander with the DG4 Mirrors ( which have been replaced ), tilt wheel and A/C which came with the Highlander Packages. Its amazing how of lots of Highlanders were altered over the years with the biggest thing being the plaid seat material replaced. Talking with the original owners son about my Highlander I asked if his Dad had special ordered the truck because of the way its equipped. He said his Dad hated the green plaid seat and put a very thick seat cover on when the truck was a few weeks old. That isn't to say someone else ordered my truck and didnt' follow through with the deal when it arrived.
Promo package codes and savings over individual option costs. A= YG6 Plaid Trim, Special Wheelcovers C10 (PA1) or Chrome Hubcaps C20-30 (PO3), Chrome Front Bumper, Upper Bodyside Molding (belt, pickups only), Door Edge Guards and Below Eye-Line Mirrors (DG4) A $94.50 savings. B= YG7 (includes A) Adds Turbo-Hydramatic Trans., Power Steering and Tilt. A $178.50 savings. C= YG8 (includes A and B) Adds A/C and Tint. A $260.50 savings. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/272691533462?ul_noapp=true

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
Already Gone, I figured when you said there was no package called out on the SPID that it was an Atlanta truck. I have never seen an Atlanta truck that listed the promotional package, even when they have all the separate options. I have one, and have seen quite a few others. I would love for someone to post an Atlanta SPID with the promo package.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
Ok, so I am going backward in the thread and am in the mid 30s for pages.. wow.. I see that Tim does these seats, not sure if he did mine or not but whoever did it was fantastic. I have a quick question. Before I recovered this, the old seat, an older not so good recover had spots on the back of the seat where it wore through because I keep the seat all the way back, it tends to rub against the cab. If I keep the seat one click up where it isn't then I get movement in the seat, any suggestions on either keeping the cover from wearing holes or how to keep the seat from moving and making noise on the tracks? I will have to maybe cut some rubber and tighten up the teeth where the pin rests... IDK..

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
![]() I figured some would like to see this. I sold this to my uncle when I was having a bit of a hard time and had to move out of state. He took good care of it and actually did a frame off restoration of the truck, never had a spot of rust on it until I moved it to PA. Well a couple years in PA and it needed inner fender wells, it looks like new rockers, cab corners are done, and I dont think this is the original bed or tailgate. Whoever did it took my second gas tank, the floor diverter switch, stripped all the chrome and did not put it back, stripped all the AC out from under the hood. I just finished putting all new stock AC under the hood, redid the entire interior. Just bought a used GM AM radio that should be in it. The paint is now about 10 yrs old and showing its age, same color but changed the roof to silver and no white stripe. ![]() ![]() ![]() And the nose today! ![]() I am told that not too many Custom Campers had the Highlander plaid seats And one last pic, my Nitro 72 4x4 ![]() ![]() |

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
The vinyl on mine is original. It has some small holes where the springs wore through the vinyl. A local guy that does upholstery repair worked his magic and filled the holes. He made a mold of the grain pattern and stamped the repaired areas so the grain is correct. He also nailed the color match.
Then I bought the plaid fabric from SMS and had another local guy replace the plaid. It wasn't cheap but not as expensive as mentioned above, plus I have the original vinyl. Now I need to clean the seat belts. |

Gray plaid is not available right now. I ordered and paid for 2 yards back in November and have yet to see it, they won't even get me an ETA (or answer the phone for that matter) or an actual status on where the material is in process besides "it is being weaved right now, you'll have it soon". ![]() |

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
Here is a Big Block C20 with I believe would be the YG8 Highlander package but as i say , some of the newness has left it, but the price is staying up there.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
I talked to SMS fabrics yesterday, $99 per yard for the blue plaid, a bit expensive. I think it takes about 2 yds for the blue plaid inserts, plus another 2 yds. for the white vinyl, plus labor to have one made. It could turn out to be one expensive seat cover.
I bought a red/red houndstooth seat cover from Southwest classics last year for $389, but this type of seat cover is not being sold anywhere. Maybe it is just for the rich and famous, lol |

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
I just had a set of buckets done using the original parchment vinyl with the green plaid material I got from SMS. It was 95.00 a yard and I bought 2 yards cause I wanted the lines symetrical and wanted to make sure there was enough material to do that and I have some left over. My upholsterer took a little license with my seats by quilting the cushions but I like it and they are comfy. Now to get my console done and get the buckets/console installed in my truck. Yes, I know you couldn't get buckets and console in a Custom/Deluxe let alone a Highlander but Chipflyer made me a spid to verify my buckets.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
Possible hidden highlander here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1972-Chevrol...1ZGQ9E&vxp=mtr
1 clue that kinda gives it away to me, however, all depends which parts were modified or replaced in black vs. parchment. i.e. note the parchment visors with black door panels - not correct, one isn't original. Only a SPID will prove my theory though... Starting bid seems a bit pricey at $8k, but that's just to how it seems to me. Might be your dream truck! |
