Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Blazer/Jimmy?
 

Note the glue where the posi decal was located on the RH rear wheel tub. Also, spots on the floor pan where the rear bumper gravel guards and top to bedside brackets were painted.

Did that happen at the assembly plant or did someone just use the floor.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Blazer/Jimmy?
 

At the plant I believe (Flint). I've seen other examples but haven't bothered to post them. St Louis painted the top to bedside brackets white so there's some plant to plant variation.

What a gem and bravo for hanging onto it all these years. Love that it had gray plaid.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Blazer/Jimmy?
 

Here's a St Louis example hugger orange w gray plaid and a black top. I perceive white paint beneath the thick dust on the wheel tub we'd expect on a St Louis example. Listed HERE on eBay.

Here’s another St Louis example that shows the white rear wheel tubs. AZ truck. Thanks Tommy.

That would be a great restoration project to include it's original 10.00-16.5 wheel option.

I am loving this thread! I've been looking for this interior pattern for years and thought I was nuts for remembering it in a friends Dad's truck when I was a kid.
this is the interior pattern I'm wanting to put in my Sonoma build.

Well optioned. Says special paint on the SPID so who knows. Looks like it may have been some shade of copper originally unless that is a replacement passenger door, Has orange highlander interior. Color changed to white at some point and mod bod graphics added later on.

Here's one now on BAT, red paint gray plaid. Plaid pattern appears horizontal across the front seats.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Blazer/Jimmy?
 

Although not the typical vertically run plaid, it's not the first one I've seen like this. There are a few examples in this thread.
Also notice how the rear doesn't line up. It's skewed toward the right in the picture or toward the drivers side and the bottom one side has the white most line more toward the front of the vehicle than the other side. Bottom line is I don't think there was any standard for how they ran the material from day to day or whether it lined up or not. Probably depended on the individual tasked that time with sewing it together. They were just trying to be as productive as possible. Sometimes they cared and tried to line them up, some times they didn't. Maybe a new person was learning that day or maybe they didn't care or pay attention. Maybe someone grabbed a set of covers meant for a GMC that day and put them in a Chevy? You could get the plaid pattern in a GMC and the material was typically ran horizontally instead of vertically or so I have read.

As an aside, I went to the Ford dealership today and was looking at the placement of the Kentucky Ford Truck plant decal in the upper right hand corner of the windshield. I had to take a picture of the entire row because not one of them was in the same place. Some were turned about 45 degrees either to the right or left, some were straight, some were closer to the top some were closer to the middle. No two were alike.
