Highlander Edition
I need some help. I recently found out that my 72 was the Highlander Edition. Can someone enlighten me as to what that is? I know it was some limited package only offered in 72 but can anyone give specifics? Thanks

Re: Highlander Edition
Page 145 of "The Standard Catalog of Chevrolet Trucks" shows a picture of a Highlander seat. It is an interior trim package. Picture shows what could be a white vinyl seat with plaid cloth in the seating areas. Door panels matched the vinyl on the seat.

Re: Highlander Edition
They were based on the CustomDeluxe.But,added a few things in 3 different levels.It was the first shot at what they do now with grouping options at a discount price.Only,with the Highlander you got a unique seat covering (plaid) and items not offered on a CustomDeluxe,like woodgrain lower belt mouldings only offered on Cheyenes and Supers.

Re: Highlander Edition
Here's the Highlander equipment list (3 levels) that was posted on an older Highlander thread.

Re: Highlander Edition
Since I wasn't paying attention in '72, that's a nice post to update us "old" folks on the option package. Thanks.

Re: Highlander Edition
I question mine. It is a Custom 10 deluxe longbed with woodgrain on the bottom, non tilt wheel, no air. It is the light metallic green tu tone with white. The interior has the white door panels and white seat belts. The dash pad, steering wheel and column are black and had black carpeting. My dad purchased the truck in 74 with 12,000 miles on it. It had the highlander seat in it. The glove box door does not say anything about the highlander package. It seams to go against what the brochure says.

Re: Highlander Edition
Can anyone tell me if these are the original '72 Chevy Highlander wheel covers? Mine is a green '72 longbed C-10 with PS, PB and a 4-speed. No AC or tilt. It was sold originally in Denver, CO. Thanks. Brian

Re: Highlander Edition
You will have to forgive me, I can't remember the option number I think it is YG8. Mine says "special Promotion" on the SPID label, and it is a fully loaded Highlander. It was Copper with the black & white plaid seat, black carpet & dash pad, and parchment door panels. Has Tilt wheel, A/C, A/T, P/S.

Re: Highlander Edition
Aren't the highlander wheel covers the same as the Monte Carlo covers of the same era?

Re: Highlander Edition
The SPID would say SPEC PROMOTION PKG A B or C. The corresponding option number would be YG6 YG7 or YG8.
