Do you have any pictures of the dark yellow blazer? The paint code number is different than the ochre.

64,000 original miles. Well optioned Hugger Orange with Highlander option, tachometer, Air Conditioning and a couple Hickey accessories.

My 72 Highlander, in still confused why some actually say Highlander on the SPID? and did the Highlanders had to be ordered, or did Chevy just a few made and sent to dealers, mine was on the show room floor I wish it had the factory tach and tow hooks

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

my seats were recovered in mid 80's the original avocado plaid is long gone

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

Awesome truck! I believe if they say "highlander" on the spid they are typically saying "highlander plaid" or "avocado highlander" which is an upgraded seat cover option that could have been added to almost any truck or blazer in 72. The rest of the highlanders are promotional trucks (like your blazer) which came with different packages and options depending on what level you ordered. The spid on a promo truck will typically say "special promotional" and the RPO code to the left of the "special promotional" would determine what highlander package was ordered. Here is an excerpt from the first post in this thread:

In addition to the Highlander plaid trim your vehicle may ALSO have a Promo Package code.
These bundled options with the plaid trim for a cost savings in three packages "A", "B" and "C"
On the SPID they are coded:
YG6
YG7
YG8

Promo package codes.

A= YG6 Plaid Trim, Special Wheelcovers C10/K5 (PA1) or Chrome Hubcaps K10/K5(PO3), Door Edge Guards and Stainless Camper Mirrors (DF2).

B= YG7 (includes A) Adds Turbo-Hydramatic Trans., Power Steering and Tilt.

C= YG8 (includes A and B) Adds A/C and Tint.

Hope this helps,

To the best of my knowledge, the SPIDs that call out "Highlander" are seen on St Louis built K5s only. Flint build Highlanders have SPIDs that do not call out Highlander. The Flint SPID instead calls out “Custom Trim Combina(tion)”. Flint also appears the plant where the promo package builds occurred. St Louis doesn't appear to be the source for any promo package highlanders (or single wall tops).

Feel free to comb through the Highlander SPIDs to corroborate.

Mine has a single wall top and has the special promotional code. They didn’t make it easy did they.

Guess I’m late to the party. Bought my Blazer at the end of 2017 and almost to interior. Here’s my SPID and the back seat which was all that was left of the stock interior beside the door panels

St Louis example - looks to have the white accent on the step face but the rear wheel wells are covered. Could be yours - on eBay now (not mine no affiliation): https://www.ebay.com/itm/1972-Chevro...UAAOSwNwpcsiCw

Still waiting on a black highlander?

Not original on my 2wd but got these done

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

Has anyone purchased bulk fabric from SMS? I am trying to figure out the bolt length and pattern repeat?? My OCD would not allow for some of these offset patterns.....Notice the offset pattern on the orange set and the Olive pattern is what I am hoping to achieve.

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

I understand what your saying. My upholsterer told me to get 1 to 1 1/2 yards for my factory buckets but I got two yards as like you Ii wanted the pattern on both seats to be symmetrical and I have some left over. Picture is my seats redone.

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

Looks like the Feathers Highlander from post #28 ( http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...6&postcount=28) is on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1972-Chevro...sAAOSwMmJeFoTK

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

Here's one that showed up on a facebook truck group today.

I like that originally it was black with a black top and black interior.

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

Wow - Black/blue plaid white top St Louis example with the white interior accents. Looks nice the Black/blue! Could be yours (no affiliation on my part w seller): https://www.ebay.com/itm/1972-Chevro...EAAOSw4tJeP14M

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

One more to show the white step face and typical use of the "rear" carpet trim strip up front. Looks like OEM carpet...

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

St Louis exampleS with white interior accents.

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

So from my reading of post #1 is that my 72 Blazer originally came with Gray Highlander seats:

1Z8410 this is the code for the CST package
and
167110 this means gray highlander upholstery

Now I just wish I could figure out what color this is that I have. It is somewhere in between a medium green and a blue, more of a "turquoise" or "teal" I suppose. 4001BA is maybe a custom color?

Just picked this one up.

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

Here’s one now on eBay. SPID says light yellow but for all the world this looks like an oem orange example and VINs match. Anyone see this as a light yellow Blazer? https://www.ebay.com/itm/1972-Chevro....c100667.m2042

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

It sure looks like Omaha orange. I didn't see any evidence of a repaint.

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

Odd isn't it? Really looks like original paint to me. Could GM have run out of light yellow on this example assembled late in model year or last minute change by customer after SPID created? Too bad to hint at color of the plaid that was in there - green on SPID and would be fun to see paired w orange.

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

So where is this GMC literature equivalent to the Chevy Highlander brochures and fabric samples? I have never seen a GMC with it nor any documents related to Highlander promotion at GMC dealers....does anyone have these booklets pamphlets and docs?

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

I really like this combo!

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

Wouldn’t that look amazing restored! It’s back on eBay this very moment. Grab it. I’d think an all blue non plaid interior would at least as good too.
