CNPE, glove box rpo's - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

daves72C10D · 03-11-2004, 09:59 PM

Here is a picture of the glove box rpo's on my truck. This list has a deluxe wheel covers listed....

Nubie question, what does rpo and PO stand for.....

I have both yellow and blue bowtie full hubcaps I have found over the years.

dinnut · 03-11-2004, 10:01 PM

PO is previous owner. looks like your truck has some good options it. your sheet looks to be in good condition too

daves72C10D · 03-11-2004, 10:05 PM

Yea, everything is stock from the factory. Paint, engine, here is a picture of the seat which has had a seat cover since the 2nd week it was bought......

krazy_texan · 03-11-2004, 11:11 PM

if i am correct ant that seat is original i think that your truck might have the Highlander package, my old bosses blazer was like that

**CPNE** · 03-11-2004, 11:48 PM

It's a Highlander, thats what option YG8 indicates. That thing is clean. Thanks

**CPNE** · 03-11-2004, 11:49 PM

RPO is regular production option

daves72C10D · 03-11-2004, 11:58 PM

Ok, that helps, what about the deluxe wheel covers....

**CPNE** · 03-12-2004, 12:22 AM

I had read somewhere that part of the Highlander package was special wheel covers. Never seen a pic in factory literature or a highlander with hubcaps so maybe what you have are them. I don't know.

**Joesjunk** · 03-12-2004, 06:13 AM

Highlander trucks did have a special full wheel cover(1/2ton only). I thought I had a pic but I can't find it. They kinda look like a 1970 Monte carlo full wheel cover??? I don't know how to explain them??? I will keep looking for the pic.

daves72C10D · 03-12-2004, 07:51 AM

Here is a pict. of the factory wheel covers.....

**CPNE** · 03-12-2004, 08:23 AM

Awesome info. Thanks Joe. And thanks Dave for sharing your unique unmolested time capsule. Hang on to those wheel covers, I doubt you'll find another set as nice. But if you want to sell them...

**CPNE** · 03-12-2004, 11:13 AM

I want to point out that the Highlander package (RPO YG8)was a mid-year 72 only option group and was marketed to move out the remaining 72's before the new model year in 73. There were 3 levels of options packaged, A , B, and C. Yours appears to be the high-end C level and includes the following RPO'S listed individually on your sticker:

BX2
B85
B93
C60
M49
N33
N40
PA1
V46

It was only available with the Custome Deluxe option (Z62) which also included the brought mouldings around the glass and the knob centers.

Your truck should also have black carpeting, parchment trim, and the famous plaid seat. The plaid colors available were classic 70's avacodo or orange, as well as the timeless gray or blue.

**Joesjunk** · 03-12-2004, 02:14 PM

Cool, those are the correct caps. Here are a few scans from the Highlander brochure I have.
