Looks like a good deal if they were on the up and up.

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

The '72 Blazer Highlander popped up again.

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

Hey that's a "steal"

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

Yeah wasn't that the one that somebody reported a problem with?

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

Does the exterior color force the interior? that 671 gray would looks great with just about any color.
I might have to build a highlander clone with a blue exterior, 671 interior

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

671 was offered with all exterior colors as a recommended combination.

On blues I'd be more inclined to run 677 Blue or even 686 Orange plaid with a 523 Dark Blue exterior. 510 Medium Blue and 671 Gray would be a good looking combination as well.

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

I love the blue on blue. When I show the wife pictures she looks at me like Im drunk. Compromise.... Haha

Thank you for the info, are all the plaid fabrics available? Particularly the blue or gray?

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

Truckseats user name on here sells all of the new seat overs to reapolster your seats. I'd pm him And see what he can do.

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

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

Here is my Highlander. Almost ashamed to say that I do not have a lot of good pics of it so you can see the seats. Its in really rough shape and I have since begun a teardown to sandblast, etc. I was not even considering going back original because it is so far away from where it started. It is White (originally green), has a Black hard top (Was originally White), and does not have the original motor in it. Also missing the lower trim that it originally had. Without the original motor not sure whether its worth taking it back to the old color or moving forward (was considering Blue). I realize ultimately its mine but was curious to hear others thoughts if you have a chance. Have a good one, great looking Blazers on here! http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/w...reteardown.jpg

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

I am building that exact blazer. mine had blue interior, I am adding highlander.

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

I'd suggest moving forward at this point. However it is possible to keep the Highlander heritage. The actual cost of a Highlander retoration is the seat covers, every other expense is the same to a given detail or quality level. So maybe do a progressive restoration. 523 Dark Blue is always a great choice. A white top works so well with it! Leave the moldings off for now if the holes are correctly filled. I'd keep a windshield molding though. Inside just do the correct CST trim items and a set of blue or gray plaid seats. Then maybe later start detailing it up to include the exterior moldings and other correct bits as time and money permit.

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

BTW I'd keep those mirrors, its amazing Chevrolet didn't offer them as RPO on Blazers 70-72.

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

I see you found it threadbaron.

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

Haha, Yes I did! :metal:

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

Time for a bump so...
Here is another "Hidden Highlander" currently yellow with black trim. Belongs to member firedoger who unfortunately hasn't been on since last October, 2014.

More as a reference than anything else here are the SPID shots showing a "F" Flint assembled YG8 Promo Package Highander in 523 Dark Blue and 677 Blue Plaid with a white top.

Of note beyond the included content of the YG8 it was optioned with G80 positraction and U69 AM/FM radio.

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

It looks nice but missing most of the highlander options. My truck is going to be what this guys truck is supposed to look like someday.

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

A half Hidden Highlander sold earlier this month. Classic combination of Dark Blue (523) and Blue Plaid (677) with a White top. In additon the Promo Package "C" (YG8) bundled options adding more goodies.

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

While I started three threads for the Highlanders due the fact they were different trim codes and content my message to all that have helped so far is the same. Please drop in on the pickup thread for my words of thanks. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...&postcount=439

OOps! Sorry Tim, thought I was on the truck thread...

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

That's a member owned Highlander. I've seen it. The real deal and shown earlier on post #6 of this thread :)

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

Not a bad looking ride. Wouldn't need a lot to restore. At least the body looks solid.

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

I sold this to a gentlemen in NW NM regretfully. The rust repairs needed far exceeded what I could afford.

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

Sorry I am late to the party... but here is one I used to own :(
http://www.67-72chevytrucks.com/vboa...d.php?t=343210

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

So who owns it now? Another board member?

Brought selected hosted pictures over here. Notably it is a rarely seen "Special Paint" Blazer with Gray Highlander plaid trim. Manual throttle and 3.73s too!

Also on the mirrors, this is correct with the standard mirrors as it is NOT a promo package (YG6-8) that included the DF2 camper mirrors.

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

http://brainerd.craigslist.org/cto/5279121196.html

Is this one a hidden highlander since it has 677 custom trim combination?

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

677 is the code for a Blue plaid Highlander Blazer.


Blazer CST Z84 mandatory option
Avocado 680
Blue 677
Gray 671
Orange 686

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

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

I got a lead on a truck, trying to work a deal, gentlemen has owned it for 20 years.

Seats have been replaced, door panels painted black. But it is the exact truck I was hoping to build, figured I'd never find. Guy has no idea it's a highlander.

523 mariner blue
Yg8 promo
671 gray plaid.

I will own it.
Also had a really awesome never installed hicky diff cover
