Wow Nice!

**Piratenation** · 02-13-2022, 01:11 PM

I just picked up this YG8 earlier this week. Its in really rough shape but I plan to restore the inside to original as I can. Not quite sure what I am going to do with the body as it's almost completely gone.

A few more pictures. Can't tell if this is a Hickey tire carrier or not

Looks like it was an eagle truck as well! Very cool

Mine was very hidden, customized and stored years ago but thanks to this thread and great info, now know it was an Avocado Highlander!

Going to be putting it back to closer to stock, ordered the upholstery! Thanks!

What do you guys think on this SPID? Would this be an "A" code highlander K5

Dirt's72 · 06-11-2022, 09:00 AM

Does it have AC?

If it were one of the promo package Highlanders the YGx RPO would be called out on the SPID (see post #322 above). To me this appears as a nice St Louis assembled blue plaid highlander non-promo package. I’m not sure if any St Louis assembled K5s were promo pack examples.

Anyone know how much houndstooth material is needed to redo the highlander seats, front and rear?

john deere · 03-23-2022, 12:21 AM

Email SMS fabrics and they can give you a good idea. They told me a couple years ago, but I have forgotten. I dont know if they are taking phone calls again.

Been a while since ive posted, but does anyone have info on the ochre highlander early on in the thread? it appears to be yellow plaid but I thought they only made the 4 colors of plaid?

My guess is faded orange plaid.

Here's a nice Flint Highlander loaded YG8 promo package example

Stray10up · 06-13-2022, 06:06 PM

That's an awesome looking blazer Deadhead! Thanks for sharing.

Dirt's72 · 06-13-2022, 07:41 PM

Nice one Pete!

m7vasque · 06-27-2022, 01:15 AM

This one a Highlander? Just picked up this project. Doesn’t explicitly state “Highlander” on the SPID. From what I could make out on the worn out SPID:
Flint built
(Z84) Cheyenne equipment
?(686) Custom Trim Combination
(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?

**Blazerowner** · 06-28-2022, 03:50 PM

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).
