Re: Highlander truck lower belt molding investigation (Poll)
I will have to figure out all the other info but it is wood grain on my SWB.

Re: Highlander truck lower belt molding investigation (Poll)
Very interesting: In comparing the two posts above, we have two St Louis Package trucks with upper belt molding - one got black lower side moldings and one got woodgrain lower side moldings... Hmm. I noticed folks have the same RPO code for woodgrain and black (BX2). I think that is correct, i.e. lower molding woodgrain vs black didn't have separate RPOs (I think) - i.e. like you might see on a Cheyenne vs Custom Deluxe. In all the reference material I've seen, Custom Deluxe received black lower side moldings (I'm talkin in general, all Custom Deluxes, Highlanders specifically) and I've never seen any reference material that called out woodgrain lower side moldings as something that came with highlander trim (or package upgrades). The plot thickens...

Re: Highlander truck lower belt molding investigation (Poll)
We need to establish which trucks are untouched from new to have any accurate info on this. I had a Highlander with woodgrain. Although it was original paint with original trim, I can't say that's how it came. I thought it was original, looks original, but once I spoke with someone familiar with the truck I earned it was a combo of two original trucks after bad cab damage on the Highlander. A Cheyenne Super of same color and patina was the donor, evidenced by the headliner). It also had the tailgate band covering the blue letters on white on the Custom Deluxe tailgate

Re: Highlander truck lower belt molding investigation (Poll)
Package trucks would also have RPO YG6,7, or 8. Yours doesn't, so is a plaid trim highlander seat order. Packages were just different levels of bundled options that included the plaid seat. Plaid seat cover makes it a Highlander regardless of package presence. Thanks for sharing yours.
The St Louis apples to apples comparison makes me think this was a "grab the closest lower body side trim on the shelf" process or the assembly lines. Ha. |

Ok, I'm in:
Here is a picture of the SPID from current (blue/white) '72 highlander and a full truck pic of my 1st blue/white '72 Highlander (...sadly stolen years ago). As is evident, this current truck came with the C-pkge..hence the air, tilt grouping, etc. The current truck is a fremont built truck....I don't remember or necessarily have the full build info on the first truck handy. Both of these trucks have the lower woodgrain molding....so I guess that might count as (2) trucks with the woodgrain molding. ![]() Interestingly...I sold a '72 (Arizona) Cheyenne Super in order to get the current blue/white highlander in its place...would never undo that deal. Here is a question for those with a/c trucks....who has an a/c truck that has the dash top painted matte black? I read that trucks destined for Texas (or most southern states?) painted the top of the dash black to eliminate glare...or? (not sure of the full backstory on this) All Good Coley ![]()

Re: Highlander truck lower belt molding investigation (Poll)
No spid pic, but I could probably dig up a pic of the truck though.
Package B Fremont Upper trim Black lower It was a factory BB truck that still had the air pump on it. Completely stock except for rally's when I got it. Blue and white...because it seems like that's the only color combo I ever own for some reason.

Re: Highlander truck lower belt molding investigation (Poll)
This pic is circa 2003, I didn't know much about the history of these trucks when I first bought this in '99 (although I had a 67 swb before this) Thought the plaid seat was ugly (had no tears), got rid of it. I also threw the BB air pump, brackets, and manifolds in the trash...hey I was like 23 at the time! I didn't know!

Re: Highlander truck lower belt molding investigation (Poll)
As an aside, some Highlander blazers had a "two tone" interior with the rear step face and wheel tubs painted white ( http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...&postcount=220 ) - small sample size but the two well documented examples (one is mine) were St Louis built (as opposed to Flint, the other K5 plant). Need to find more examples but thought I'd mention to lend support to plant specific variations for Highlander's. St Louis also seemed to frequently use the rear carpet trim strip up front as well.
