Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
I'd leave it just like it is to sell - odds are the potential buyer could care less and would pay the same price regardless (unless, of course, the buyer is a discerning member of this august board...) - so you could be throwing money into it for nothing. Btw, I don't see YG8 (Pkg C) on the SPID, so appears to just have the plaid seat, which was available without getting a Pkg A, B, C etc. Doesn't matter though, has very nice options so the package doesn't matter.
I know everyone's circumstances are different, and trust me when I tell you that life got in the way and I've sold a few I wish I could get back - but a real swb Highlander in Custom Two Tone 557 is a very, very nice piece of history to hold onto, even without the original engine (currently painted as a 466 Deluxe Two Tone). If you have the option, I'd sure hang onto that one and restore it someday. But completely understand, sometimes ya gotta sell - I only mention it since you said it's your first classic - that's a good first classic to have, and to hang onto  (ok, ok, I'm partial to 557 paint...  )Good luck either way - if you decide to sell, it will go fast, it's a nice one. |

That truck is an Atlanta build and and they didn't add the RPO Codes to the Highlanders. This truck has all the options of RPO Code YG8 which was the top Package of the 3 offered. Gotta thank SSTim for putting this thread and info together.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
Does anyone know what option this seat is. It’s plaid however there is no vinyl on the seating area. It’s on a 1972, the pickup is a Cheyenne super. Sorry for the dark picture it was parked inside.
It may not be original, however I would like to know why it’s all plaid. I realize Cheyenne super was houndstooth. This truck has Blue interior Last edited by 4cowboy; 06-26-2023 at 11:00 PM. |

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
it's not a 72 seat cover - that is a squarebody plaid pattern circa 73-ish Custom Deluxe (below from a 73). Do not believe it's an actual original squarebody seat cover either - as you pointed out, no vinyl in the center like the 73 below - I'd assume someone used the 73-ish material to have a seat cover made for the 72 bench.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
Thank you for your information. I had wondered if it came out of a suburban or like you said a newer seat cover. Someone must have made a seat. The vinyl is on the outer edge.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
LL Bean catalog had a slight glimpse of a green plaid highlander.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
Surprised this one hasn't sold yet. As nice a Highlander as your gonna find. It was posted in the Facebook Marketplace Finds thread a couple weeks ago. Link is for the Facebook Marketplace ad.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
How about some rusty gold? (Interior shots are as found, prior to clean up).

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
This one popped up on Facebook Marketplace today and check out the exterior and interior colors. Looks like alegit YG8 Package Truck with the tilt and 7 x 10 mirrors still intact and my favorite the A/C stuff is all there.
