Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup? - Page 9 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

SS Tim · 02-04-2015, 02:46 AM

Anymore Highlanders out there?

SS Tim · 02-08-2015, 05:17 PM

Jocko found us an early build 12/71 "Hidden Highlander" down in TX. A plaid trim upgrade truck it also has a 5-speed conversion too! Be a nice driver with the interior corrected.

Not sure if this is plaid. I bought it used, but plan on recovering it in black. My truck is a 1970 and I believe this seat is a 1972?

SS Tim · 02-08-2015, 06:25 PM

That is a replacement seat cover. It could very well be on your original seat/frame. Not a Highlander though.

**Razorbacker** · 02-08-2015, 10:49 PM

CL find, not mine - a solid blue Highlander for sale in Dallas

SS Tim · 02-08-2015, 11:15 PM

Its hard not to like a dark blue Highlander. Curously this loaded up Promo Package "C" (YG8) had a base 307 originally. Like many unfortunately the only "Highlander" trim parts left are the seat belts.
Thanks Tony for posting up another "Hidden Highlander" that is why this thread is here.

**Razorbacker** · 02-09-2015, 10:30 PM

Tim,

Here was another Dallas area Craigslist Highlander, sorry no picture of the SPID was available. The truck must have sold, I can't seem to locate the add.

68nou1 · 02-09-2015, 11:08 PM

Mine is a YG8. Power steering, AC, and power brakes. Have the original seat but it is in pretty bad shape on the drivers side. I also have a picture of the spid but cant get on photobucket here at work.

**68bowtie** · 02-10-2015, 09:53 PM

this guy probably has one...

Yes and the only variable was the plaid itself.

Highlander Plaid trim color breakdown.
All include Black dash pad, steering column (with or without tilt) and carpet. In addition the door panels, visors, console (Blazer only) and seat belts were always Parchment (White). Seat vinyl was also Parchment and the insert color is determined by the specific trim code. So the ONLY variable color keyed component was the plaid insert of Avocado, Blue, Gray or Orange.

Here is a hidden Highlander. Killen some time with the cousins and stopped at a classic car lot. This truck was locked up but it was a Deluxe. Although most of the interior was new, the original door panels stood out. Had to check the SPID to see if it was a original 626(parchment) truck or a Highlander. The dealer came out and let us look at the SPID. Sure enough, 613 Avocado Highlander, and YG8 Special Promotional, Bingo! It was actually quite a thrill finding one like that. Thanks Tim, Great thread!

Very nice find Bruce! I'm guessing you didn't take it home (yet!). Of interest is it has both a cargo lamp and a tool box added to the YG8 list. Well done and exactly the purpose of this thread! Keep looking guys. :-)

Where are the plaid GMCs?!

Hustontractor · 02-13-2015, 12:52 AM

I am very intrigued by the Highlander pickups. Will having one ever be as popular as a Cheyenne Super? I know "to each their own", but I really think I need one!

Thanks, I've been watching that one for a year. Not being a driver makes it difficult to get here.
