Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Blazer/Jimmy?
 
First post on here. Trying to figure out exactly how my 1972 Blazer looked from the factory. Wanting to start the process of getting it back to original. It looks like I have an all white exterior, white top with orange Highlander interior. Does anyone have an example of how that interior: seats, trim panels, dash, etc would have looked? Thanks!

There are photos of at least one white blazer with orange plaid seats posted on this thread. EDIT: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...6&postcount=35 note black dash pad and steer column. All panels are parchment.

Would be great to see pics of your blazer - post some up when possible. Pete

It's an observation that SPIDs from Flint built highlanders state "Custom Trim Combina(tion)" whereas those from St Louis state the color then "...Highlander Pla(id)".

Probably answered (1,000 times before!) but since I keep seeing it pop up, how do you tell where your truck was built and why does Flint seem like the place everyone wants theirs to come from?

Here's another example of a highlander with white interior accents. No SPID to confirm whether or not it's a Saint Louis build but the 2x wall top and use of a rear carpet trim strip up front make it more likely than not.

I'm pretty sure these are Dodge seats from the 80's full size Dodge cargo vans.

Here is a chart one of the board members made. It breaks doesn your serial number with the plant build info.

Found another. A little rough but all there. If you look close you can see the rear wheel tubs were painted white

Looks like utility buckets. But not sure the fabric on it is correct.
