(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.

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?

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

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

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).

More - good hose routing documentation. Note the passenger female belt with the plastic sleeve somehow got transferred to the rear seat.

**DeadheadNM** · 01-23-2023, 05:32 PM

Sold for $71.5k at Mecum. Hefty appreciation.

A “hidden” Highlander on Bay Area CL. Thanks Troy.

Note the glue where the posi decal was located on the RH rear wheel tub. Also, spots on the floor pan where the rear bumper gravel guards and top to bedside brackets were painted.

Did that happen at the assembly plant or did someone just use the floor.

At the plant I believe (Flint). I've seen other examples but haven't bothered to post them. St Louis painted the top to bedside brackets white so there's some plant to plant variation.

Nice, you are always full of great info!!

**craneboy72** · 02-26-2023, 08:29 AM

my 73 has imprints from the roof brackets getting painted on the floor

CanadianNascar · 08-27-2023, 10:53 AM

I first want to thank all members on the board for all the great info.
My Blazer has been parked since '97 and the last 9mos I've been wrenching to get it road worthy.
First time on the road in 25yrs. yesterday! This website made the journey so much easier and enjoyable.
Still alot more time and money to go. Trying to keep it relatively stock, except going with 33x10.5x15 mud terrains.
It's pretty much unmolested, except by me.

I don't think I have any pics from when I purchased, keep meaning to go looking in storage for old pics.

I purchased my 72 in Arizona back around 1990.
Stripped to bare metal around '92 and painted the wrong dark green 506 instead of green 505, disappointing.
My front seats have been recovered, and rear seat is missing arms and rear feet.

Built in St.Louis 02/72

**DeadheadNM** · 08-29-2023, 08:02 PM

What a gem and bravo for hanging onto it all these years. Love that it had gray plaid.

**DeadheadNM** · 12-01-2023, 10:46 AM

Here's a St Louis example hugger orange w gray plaid and a black top. I perceive white paint beneath the thick dust on the wheel tub we'd expect on a St Louis example. Listed HERE on eBay.

**DeadheadNM** · 12-17-2023, 10:58 PM

Here’s another St Louis example that shows the white rear wheel tubs. AZ truck. Thanks Tommy.

**1970cstblazer** · 12-18-2023, 08:27 AM

That would be a great restoration project to include it's original 10.00-16.5 wheel option.

This orange hylander which was sold 19000.00 .is on eBay for 44000.00 now these flippers don’t give you a chance

I am loving this thread! I've been looking for this interior pattern for years and thought I was nuts for remembering it in a friends Dad's truck when I was a kid.
this is the interior pattern I'm wanting to put in my Sonoma build.
