Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
I’ll give the thread a nudge, and share mine. Some members will recognize the truck.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
What was included in the 1972 YG8 'C' option? This is on a black/red-orange truck. What color would the original plaid seat cover be and what else was in that package? All the SPID says is "special promotional" (in addition to "Black/Red Orange).

To see what came in the different packages, see post 38 of this thread. Can you post a picture of your SPID? |

It's not my truck...yet, but could possibly be eventually. I think the SPID had "YG820 Special Promotional". It also said "Black/Red Orange" as the color. I had not seen that before. It is currently an orange color body with a black cab. Looks a little different but I am not afraid of orange & black. Especially since it is likely its original color scheme. It also had the features listed in post #38 for the YG8 option. The SPID also listed custom trim combination (?) and custom deluxe equipment (?). Not sure what those include either. Seems to not be a rare combination, but an unusual one at the least. I like combinations that are out of the ordinary. Thanks for the help. This site is a wealth of truck information! It is helping me learn a lot as I shop for my next truck.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
The 3 digit RPO code next to Custom Trim Combination will tell you the plaid color - if you get a chance to see the SPID again. Sometimes the color terminology in a Highlander’s trim RPO description will be vague and substitute Custom Trim Combination terminology. The paint code for black and orange is 565 and is considered a “Custom Two Tone” paint offering. It sounds like a great looking truck, hope you are able to get it.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
SWB Highlanders are rare - does the SPID really show 618 or am I mis-reading it? (i.e. orange plaid)

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
sure does - GM sometimes just labeled it as Custom Trim, sometimes included the plaid color verbiage, but code is all that matters. That will look pretty cool in a dark olive truck.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
I'm wanting to know if it is it OK to post a photo or two here...?
Avocado plaid Highlander interior but not in a Highlander truck. It's in a '74 GMC van and is pretty groovy. Can someone chime in. Thanks. |

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 ![]() ![]() 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.
