Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?

To recap and get this thread back on track.
My intent is to "find" as many of the "missing" Highlanders out there as possible. Due to the fact the plaid seat covers are not generally available and plaid being... well plaid, many originl trucks have been reworked to more conventional interior colors. After all white is not the easiest of trim colors to live with in a truck!

Many of the trucks I find barely hint at being Highlanders with only the SPID codes as evidence of prior glory.

So here is my general blurb seen often before and the ordering information for those interested in what makes a Highlander or a Promo Package Highlander.

Highlander Plaid Trim was a trim upgrade to Z62 Custom Deluxe or Z84 CST (Blazer only) optioned vehicles that changed interior trim details and added black carpet.

Highlander Promo Package trucks were also offered that bundled options with the Highlander Plaid Trim option.

These were sales savings packages A,B and C with increasing levels of content.

Thus a YG_ coded promo package truck was also a Highlander but a Highlander trim code was NOT ALWAYS a promo package equipped truck.

Highlander Plaid trim codes All include black dash pad, steering column (with or without tilt) and carpet. In addition the door panels, visors, console (Blazer only) and seat belts were always parchment (white). Seat vinyl was also parchment and the insert color is determined by the specific trim code. So the ONLY variable color keyed interior component was the insert color of the seatcovers.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Pickups Custom Deluxe Z62 mandatory option
Avocado 613
Blue 611
Gray 604
Orange 618
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Promo package codes and savings over individual option costs.

A= YG6 Plaid Trim, Special Wheelcovers C10 (PA1) or
Chrome Hubcaps C20-30 (PO3), Chrome Front Bumper, Upper Bodyside Molding (belt, pickups only), Door Edge Guards and Below Eye-Line Mirrors (DG4) A $94.50 savings.

B= YG7 (includes A) Adds Turbo-Hydramatic Trans., Power Steering and Tilt. A $178.50 savings.

C= YG8 (includes A and B) Adds A/C and Tint. A $260.50 savings.



To sum it up, when you ordered a Custom Deluxe for $103 you could add the Highlander Plaid trim colors and carpet to it for another $68.

If the truck was ordered with a YG6, 7 or 8 Highlander Promo Package it included Custom Deluxe, Highlander Plaid Trim and the bundle options specific to the level ordered.
