I was INCREDIBLY impressed with the quality of the cover itself, BUT the foam they were selling approximately 4-5 years ago was way too firm. I ended up pulling the cover and reusing my original foam with a bit of reinforcement added. I worked with a guy named Joe at CarsInc. His last name escapes me right now.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
Have a chance to buy this highlander; unfortunately motor/trans are long gone. Pretty complete other than drivetrain and fairly solid.was hoping for a super , but the more I learn, the more I’m liking this truck

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
Nice find Pete. Sharp truck. I believe D60 was standard if a C20 was ordered with leaf springs, at least in the 71-72 era. I think... Not the case with Ks though.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
Mark thanks for the heads-up on that. I wrongly assumed 4wd convention for rear axles applied to 2wd.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
Mark, Pete any idea why C20 had D60 and K’s got the HO? Didn’t the Dana have 2 1/2” brakes compared to the HO at 2”? Wasn’t 72 the last year for the HO, also what’s the difference between the 52 and the 72 ?
Thanks guys |

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
Bill, I believe inclusion of optional leaf springs in a Chev C20 is what triggered the inclusion of D60 rather than HO. Yet all the Ks were rear leaf spring trucks and all got the HO rear I believe. Odd if you ask me. That may be due to gear matching availability with a front D44 - but it doesn’t really explain why a C20 didn’t get an HO rear with leafs. Would love to hear a definitive answer as to why a C20 with leafs got D60 and K20 with leafs got an HO. Personally, I wish they all got the D60.. More parts still available.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
Thanks Joe - I did not know that D60 was standard on K2500s. I think I knew leafs were standard on C2500s (unlike C20s) and that they got D60s on all as a result - but did not know that carried over onto the K20s. Makes sense and I sure wish Chevy had done it! But that does dispel the gear matching theory at least!
