Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?

Ok, here is another 'Highlander' question:
Was all cab carpeting in the Highlander option always black?....or were they also offered/supplied in color combo's similar to the Cheyenne/Cheyenne Super trucks?
(Backstory....if/as I do a few interior upgrades and renewals, such as the plaid upholstery vs. cheyenne fabric option (not solved on this), I was considering switching to a color keyed carpet in place of the black carpet.
Noting the downside of switching away from black is that every stain, every spill, every mark shows up in the carpet so you start moving away from the 'daily driver' option)
All Good

As a "Special Combination" all Highlander Plaid trim codes 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 component was the insert color of the seatcovers.

I have noticed that most of the spids have that there is plaid on the seat, is it possible mine was ordered without plaid as it is not listed on the spid anywhere?

If we are talking about 2F365700 it was built with the Highlander Plaid. Both the 611 trim code and the YG8 PromPackage codes confirm this.

Specifically
1 611 10 CUSTOM TRIM COMBINA
Indicates Blue Plaid seat trim and the special combination of white and black parts used in all Highlanders.

1 YG8 20 SPECIAL PROMOTIONAL
Indicates it was optioned with Promo Package "C" which included the Highlander Plaid trim as part of the package's fixed contents.

In summary you have two lines on the SPID indicating Plaid Trim and one specifiying Blue Plaid trim.

If you are comparing a 72 F SPID with one from another plant (like 72 Z) you will see differences, often a lot!
