'72 Blazer Resto - Highlander Interior - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

blazerslave · 05-21-2003, 01:25 PM

I am restoring my '72 CST Blazer. It originally came as a Highlander optioned Blazer which was Tangier orange with a white top and the orange and black plaid on white vinyl.

I cannot find the orange plaid fabric . . . does anyone have any leads on this?

Also, I am trying to shed the "leisure suit" white vinyl look. Did the Highlanders come with vinyl other than white? I'm thinking black instead.

Thanks!

Highlanders were only available with parchment door panels and visors and seatbelts. Can't help with material, sorry.

Thanks . . . . Do you know if there was a special coding in the identification numbers that designate it as a highlander?

If your glove box sticker is still intact it should mention a code for "Special Promo" or something like that.

Here is a link to some good info

Here is a link to leads on material

Aren't you glad you asked?

Thanks Jeff!!!

You're a pal!

This has been a long time coming project . . . 5 years in Oct. I'm attempting a restification that involves some old and some new . . . I'd like to keep some of the unique elements intact like the color scheme, but add a lift and modern tires and wheels. SOme of these changes have been made others are in process! I'll post pics as time goes on.
