Don't know much about Blazers. Is a single wall top a good thing, is there a double wall top?

Yes to both. Single walls are nice as they 1) have attachment bolts that don't require the removal of the rear trim panels on CST models and 2) don't suffer from a roof sag or dip. Single wall tops only for part of the 72 model year and (thus far) only convincingly installed on flint built k5s. K5s with double wall tops came with a speaker mounted below the dash unlike single wall k5s where the speaker is in the typical location for a pickup.

Might just be, but its pretty thin evidence considering it's condition.

Great reference pictures of a now sold Orange Plaid back seat under a period plastic cover. Scroll work detail is awesome!

Reproduction Highlander Plaid pickup bench seat covers were seen in the wild last weekend.

Thank to Jocko (a Highlander/20 owner), who found them at a local show. While still apparently special order (as most of their seat covers are) it is encouraging to see.

Thanks to GR8-68 for pointing us to their ebay listing in a follow up post.

If anyone gets information on Blazer specific covers from them please let us know. Remember it takes demand to get a product like this made.

Mine are like 4 months out. But I feel like they're 12. :(

Sms is sending me a sample of the fabric currently in production.

Hated to do it as tim is so helpful, but swclassic said id have a highlander set on my door step in two weeks.

We'll see how they look in two weeks I'll report back.

excited to be able to drive the truck without being uncomfortable, has aftermarket seats in it now that are absolutely horrible. Weather is cooling down, should be great.

Classic style. That'll be nice to see. There were some seats for sale close to me but they wanted 800 bucks. Green plaid. Wouldn't have matched my truck but I love the look. I'm sure someone will pick them up quick. That stuff doesn't last long around here.

Had anyone seen a black Highland? How about a factory black with a white top?

I'd have to check my collections but I don't recall acually seeing a Black Blazer Highlander SPID.

However all three plaid colors were recommended combinations on a Black Blazer. The top color as I understand was free choice, you simply ordered a Z58 White or Z59 Black.

I'm thinking thatfor me, a Black Black top Avacodo Highlander Blazer woulld be a standout.

This one was posted on the Craigslist thread. A little bit country but could be brought back to life. There are 21 pics on the ad.
