Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
 

No current pics of my blue highlander suburban...she's REALLY ugly right now as the person I sold her to put her into the back of a big truck. I've got both original seats...but need to get them recovered when I get around to putting this big ole girl back on the road. She is a dual air 402 truck...so she likes her gasoline!

I've got a new toy to pick up the end of October...I'll share that news when I get her home. From there, I've got a couple of AD trucks in front of the burb...

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
 

So it did after I rechecked the SPID. Sorry about that, question withdrawn. Thanks for posting another example of the Janesville only centered Deluxe emblem too.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
 

That's a very nice combo - looking fwd to seeing the progress. Weatherford is right down the road!

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
 

I got this bench seat ready to go.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
 

You bought that truck from me and I bought it from another board member bobvilla. I am glad to see you are restoring it.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
 

Same trucks with different wheels. Hey Kevin do you still have the seat the came with it. If you still have it. I like to buy it off you.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
 

Yup, The Hidden Hot Rod shop in Prescott has one

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
 

More please!

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
 

Here's a hidden highlander! It's for sale, link below. I called and got the SPID because I was pretty darn interested, but just not gonna be able to pull it off in my current running-around state. Someone should buy, resto, and enjoy this old beauty. Btw, this was one of SSTim's great finds - thanks Tim. We both like to suspect every Custom Deluxe is a hidden highlander, and, occasionally, it really pays off.

I've attached a few additional pics that the seller sent me in addition to the cl ad itself. Even with the holes in the roof from the non-oem clearance lights that used to be there, I think this is a VERY fair price for a not-that-common, solid med red paint, gray plaid, Highlander that is also a Custom Camper. For what it's worth, the seller was very friendly and responsive (I do not know him). I think it'd be a beautiful combo restored. Anyway - here you go!

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
 

here's a few more pics - LAST one is NOT THIS TRUCK - it is what the interior would look like if restored to original condition - pretty sweet in my book. One could nit pick (incorrect mirror heads, missing carpet, missing antenna, non-oem radio, roof holes, etc, BUT he's only asking $3500... I WISH I'd bought this one instead of the olive 71 Cheyenne Super I purchased a few years back). It appears to be pretty straight with little rust. Enjoy!

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
 

Nice truck thanks for sharing. Would like to know how RPO VF5 Calif Vehicle Reg (listed above) differs from RPO VF6 California Processi (listed on my K5 in addition to RPO VF5). Maybe 1/2 vs 3/4 ton emissions equip?

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
 

Jocko... Thanks for posting this up!

OK now does anyone have a glamor picture of a near stock 71-72 solid red with upper and lower trim to get Jocko back on track??? :-)

Looked for years to find this truck....

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
 

Yes 1/2 tons as I understand it were production tested where the larger 20-30 trucks were simply factory certified to meet their lesser CA mandated emission requirements.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
 

:lol: Ha, I'd love to get it Tim! :banghead:
EDIT: Speaking of glamour shots - I know Sicklajoie's gorgeous 69 is hugger, but THAT's what I keep seeing in my daydreams... but with plaid!

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
 

Found this one today

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
 

Nice! Another white truck. Any pictures? Buying it?

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
 

here you go Tim. as of right now it is not for sale

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
 

tommy - check out post 47, we're practically twins... I'll trade you my Cali emissions for your big block though! What? No? Really nice truck. Love the avocado plaid.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
 

I wish that was my truck but its not for sale

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
 

Thanks for the pictures Tommys72.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
 

not a problem

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
 

Another from the Hidden Highlander files. This wasn't actually advertised with a plaid interior but a SPID request and more pictures confirmed what I had suspected from the little picture posted.

Nice little truck loaded up with options just not power brakes!
Wood beds we see but cargo lamps and the D89 stripe are not very common on a Highlanders. This is a plaid trim truck and notably a Janesville truck too with the center justified "Deluxe" emblem.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
 

Why the base "sport" mirrors rather than camper mirrors?

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
 

Its a trim truck and not a promo package so only the interior changed. No vehicle options were changed or restricted on a trim truck.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
 

love light yellow. and dark yellow. and 72's... I remember when that one came up for sale a while back Tim. Another Janesville red-headed step child. Sometimes I wish all the factories centered the emblems though...

Na, not really.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
 

'bout a year and a half ago!
Nice to see the combination of options.
Bet it was a sharp truck around town when new. :-)

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
 

I still cant post my pics it says they are too big

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
 

2 options:
- right click on a picture
- select "open with" and then select "Mircosoft Office 2010" to bring it up in Microsoft Picture Viewer
- select "Edit Pictures" then select "Resize"
- in one of the drop-down boxes, select 1024x768 (Document Large)
- select OK, then SAVE the picture where you can find it.

That will make it small enough to be uploaded.
If the above doesn't work, then do the following:
- Right click on the picture, select "open with" - and select Paint
- In Paint, select "Resize", then select "Pixels" then enter 1024 and 768 into the two boxes that are populated with a larger pixel size.
- Then select "Save As" (not just "Save") and save it to a place you can find it as a .jpeg or .jpg

If you have an Apple, well, you're on your own...

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
 

My buddy has one here in Prescott that's also for sale it's a clean Arizona 1972 long bed, with the optional tool box and what's left of the original "Plaid Seat" under a Saddleman seat cover

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
 

Just made a deal on this one. The link is for the thread I posted about it.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
 

I love the color combination. Looks great. Also the white bumper is refreshing.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
 

One more Chevy - need some GMCs

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
 

I found one locally here in Columbia, SC. Pretty far gone but the SPID caught my eye. It's not mine but it is for sale if someone is brave! Part of me wants to go peel back the seat cover but I have a bad habit of dragging stuff home and the wife will KILL me!

Here's the link: http://columbia.craigslist.org/cto/4767646364.html

Here's a pic of the SPID for when the posting expires or is removed. Bet it was a great looking truck in its day!

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
 

Tropical Snowstorm maybe you should drag that Highlander home. It has the 'C" promo package which includes ,tilt. Chrome below eye line mirrors, Chrome front bumper and the PA1 wheel covers and I wish my truck would have been ordered with that package. That truck would look great redone. Mine is highlander without the "C " and the same colour except my roof is dark olive and this truck has the white roof.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
 

Not exactly the same "look" there.
A Conventionl Two-Tone of white over medium green is a nice combination. But a lot of people dislike the "spear" effect of the upper molding alone as was standard with the Promo Package Highlanders. The PA1 wheelcovers seem to be a love or hate look with most of the checkmarks going in the later column.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
 

One more, repainted two-tone? ( http://www.ebay.com/itm/Chevrolet-C-...Cars_Trucks ):

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
 

Funny that doesn't have the "Deluxe" trim band on the rear.

I see that White over Light Olive was incredibly popular, there's one I saw driving by me and quite a few on this thread alone...

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
 

Nothing wrong back there. The deluxe woodgrained tailgate band was used on the 69-72 CST, Cheyenne and Cheyenne Super trim levels. The black bands are repo marketing and were not stock. This truck has the correct upper and lower tailgate moldings.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?
 

I only meant that since it's such a highly optioned truck it seems strange the band wasn't also put on.

I wish we could pick options like that now instead of "convenience packages"
