Wow Nice!

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

I just picked up this YG8 earlier this week. Its in really rough shape but I plan to restore the inside to original as I can. Not quite sure what I am going to do with the body as it's almost completely gone.

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

A few more pictures. Can't tell if this is a Hickey tire carrier or not

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

Looks like it was an eagle truck as well! Very cool

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

I think sportbird was identical to feathers edition and eagle was different

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

I saw the the "Sportbird By Chevy" sticker but didn't think that the "Feathers/Sportbird/Eagle" could be optioned with a Highlander trim Blazer. Is there anything on my SPID that says it? It was originally white but at one point it was painted black and an orange drivers door was put on.

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

The decal package would be dealer installed so no SPID indication. They are actually quite common on Highlander trucks and blazers for some reason but are not related from an order standpoint. Is there any paperwork from the dealer in the glovebox about the decal package?

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

Nothing in the glovebox just the sport truck sticker. This K5 was road hard and put up wet.

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

Anyone know how much houndstooth material is needed to redo the highlander seats, front and rear?

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

Email SMS fabrics and they can give you a good idea. They told me a couple years ago, but I have forgotten. I dont know if they are taking phone calls again.

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

Been a while since ive posted, but does anyone have info on the ochre highlander early on in the thread? it appears to be yellow plaid but I thought they only made the 4 colors of plaid?

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

My guess is faded orange plaid.

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

Mine was very hidden, customized and stored years ago but thanks to this thread and great info, now know it was an Avocado Highlander!:metal: Going to be putting it back to closer to stock, ordered the upholstery! Thanks!

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

What do you guys think on this SPID? Would this be an "A" code highlander K5

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

Does it have AC?

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

No AC.

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

Yeah I believe that would make it a YG7 B package. More pictures?

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

If it were one of the promo package Highlanders the YGx RPO would be called out on the SPID (see post #322 above). To me this appears as a nice St Louis assembled blue plaid highlander non-promo package. I’m not sure if any St Louis assembled K5s were promo pack examples.

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

The blazer is missing seats and has had some modifications done by th PO. What other pictures would help to determine specifics of the truck? Thanks.

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

We just like seeing pictures in general. What are your plans for it?

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

Cool, thanks for the feedback! I'm sure it looked nice freshly built. MIT will get rescued and rebuilt to factory specs or custom.

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

Oh yeah, I like seeing pictures also. It seems all the parts needed are so hard to find in CA for blazers unless you have deep pockets. I'm going to sell it.

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

Here's a nice Flint Highlander loaded YG8 promo package example

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

That's an awesome looking blazer Deadhead! Thanks for sharing.

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

Nice one Pete!

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

This one a Highlander? Just picked up this project. Doesn’t explicitly state “Highlander” on the SPID. From what I could make out on the worn out SPID:
Flint built
(Z84) Cheyenne equipment
?(686) Custom Trim Combination
(YG8) Special Promotional

Unfortunately the original rear bench seat was recovered and the front seats are long gone. Currently in primer. On the fence between going back to mostly original or custom.

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

Yes it is and nicely equipped. The Flint built examples don’t call out “Highlander Plaid” like the St Louis built examples. My guess would be orange plaid but the RPO is obscured. Is it possible the rear seat has an OE cover underneath?

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

Is there an example of a different color plaid than the original body color?

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

For this one it looks as if the third character from the trim RPO was a 6 as in 686 orange. It’s a good question, off hand I’m not recalling any orange K5s with gray, green, or blue plaid but they’re all blending together as time creeps by :)

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

Took a closer pic, looks like “686” to me. The 524 orange and plaid orange interior look good to me from what I’ve found online. Thanks for confirming it’s a Highlander. Will go back to stock-ish on this one (eventually).
