Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Suburban?
I have 10/12 other Burbs with Spids on file and they are all Flint builds. I was thinking that maybe as the model years went by GM would have moved Burb assembly to the Flint plant but the two I've posted are 67 and 71 which I guess negates that theory.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Suburban?
You learn something new every day. Thanks for the information. I was wondering if the special promotional interior was only available at the Flint Michigan planet.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Suburban?
Well the two I posted aren't Highlanders so you could be correct in thinking all the Burb Highlanders came form Flint.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Suburban?
Found this YG8 Package one on eBay and it needs full rest. It'd be a beauty restored with all options ( except that 4:11 rear end ) installed. I contacted the seller and the A/C parts are missing front and rear as well as the third seat and the radio although the dash hasn't been cut.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Suburban?
Just picked this up today. 72 4x4. Haven't got it home yet but she's plaid.
Stumbled over this post so I thought I'd share. ![]() |

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Suburban?
Can you post more pics of your Burb and the spid would be great too.

I didn't think the plaid was available with 4x4

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Suburban?
Hey Burbin' is that a real Highlander? I am pretty sure bucket seats were not available for '72 Suburbans. I still like it though.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Suburban?
I think buckets were available but the 2nd row would not be full width with a 3rd row as well.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Suburban?
Since the truck is on air ride and can drop all the way to the ground I rearrange things a little but did like having the backseat in there even though it's kind of unusable

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Suburban?
^ that's clean! I have the same seats [not original] and was considering mounting the last row backwards..
like the old wagons with the fold down third row seat, be cool for the kids.. and I had an idea for a hitch mounted two step for them to climb up the back, minimize the seat hopping they already do now.. ![]() these came with my 72 GMC K1500 [not original] but I've already got the proper front and center full burb benches for it.. these are going to be seat options for my 71 K20 that still has it's original front a center full benches ![]() ![]()

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Suburban?
So I posted early on in this thread that I parted a blue highlander. I had the front bench still but it was shredded. Finally found what I thought was the glove box door, apparently it was not the correct door, I was told there was no highlander code on the spid. Must have been the wrong door because I found the rest of this stuff buried in the barn today. I know, how the heck did I forget I had this?
The cloth is perfect. The vinyl is perfect except on the third row seat there is about a four inch tear and one of the arm rests is munched up some. Id really like to figure out a way to get these things as clean as possible. Cloth part is just going to take a vacuum, the rest, a little more haha. I was thinking about letting it sit in the sun to bring the seat structure back. The were stacked on top of each other making them smoosh up a bit. But I don't want to put them in the sun until I get em clean. Any pointers on cleaning these up without hurting them? EDIT: That's just bits of hay, not tears on the plaid.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Suburban?

I guess you could always take them to a professional interior shop. I always use a mild soap (easy on the soap) and a soft scrub brush on my dirty stuff, then a shop vac to get most of the rinse water out of the cloth material. Seems to work pretty good. LockDoc

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Suburban?
An all purpose cleaner, nylon brush, and toothbrush will get 'em looking good again. I used Meguiar's all purpose cleaner, but there are a ton of different ones out there.
