It looks good. But I don't know about $28000 good.

That orange and white Hillander belonged to my dad he sold it outside of eBay it's definitely original paint I know the original owner that bought it new it sat in storage since the early 90s.

Again, clearly at least the inside of the glovebox door has been repainted and over the edges of the SPID. Usually this indicates a much larger repaint.

A little work, I guess !! As we used to say in the car business, "some of the newness has left her".. Be sure nice to see it redone to original.

**Already Gone** · 12-25-2016, 09:06 PM

Here is a C20 non-package Highlander that has had some tweaking over the years. Roof lights added, big block replaced with a small block and a sun roof added.

Very nice. Curious if the build sheet is tucked away in the seat springs like some Fremont trucks....

ruco palos · 01-04-2017, 02:30 AM

Not that lucky, but I do have the protect o plate

Uncommon combo of 521 White with 613 Avocado trim.
A YG7, Promo Package "B" optioned C-10 LWB.
Remember this was all the Highlander packaged goodies but not A/C on an AZ delivered truck no less!
They did spring for a 350 and posi though.

Modified some but surely correctable.
It can be yours....

If someone gets a better shot of the SPID or the build sheets and POP please post it.

that is definitely an interesting way to option a truck. I personally would rather have full gauges or put on the lower moldings before I got a tilt

**68350** · 03-31-2017, 05:34 AM

A friend of mine has this one for sale

Before this turns into another tailgate band thread, the SPID clearly shows the truck was a code 536 Conventional Two-Tone truck. As such, from the factory, it had a solid Ochre tailgate with White letters.

The truck has been repainted at some point to represent a code 463 Deluxe Two-Tone. Bands are often added by people as was the chromed rear bumper in this case.

**dave6672** · 01-25-2017, 08:59 PM

Here's one that's in my garage now.....1972 C20 Custom Deluxe Custom Camper Highlander. I brought this home last month, it had been sitting in a yard last licensed in 1995. Blue plaid, A/C, 350 cid, tilt and only 25,000 documented miles, same owner since 1979. Unfortunately it sat outside that entire time, but I've seen worse. Planning on going through it and using it for driver. Just thought you guys would like to see it!

Take a breath there Tim, we aren't as up on details as you are. I fugured the band had been added but missed the paint code thing.
