What a great post, thank you. Highlander huh, I'd never heard of one. Now I see where the plaid seats come in.

No doubt the Supers were loaded. My 72 doesn't have the bright handle (they put the tailgate through a lot of work). The only piece of exterior chrome besides the bumper that's not pitted is trim that runs down the middle of the hood. The truck has all the things you mentioned, and roof lights, cargo light headliner, etc...........I believe a stock plush bench with chrome trim (far more comfortable than the common bench) - Edit, stock, option 610...............There are some buttons on front of the cab, which I understand is for a canvas. With the BB and two-tone deluxe blues, it had to be remarkable rolling off the dealership. Today it's just a driver needing brakes and front tires.

Good to know the holes for the upper and lower belts must be stock. Nice reference for my 71.
