Spotted this truck about 6 months ago and it finally landed in my driveway. Now the fun begins to see if I can get it running. The truck even comes with free yellow jackets!

Cool, Looks like you got tilt and no AC so that must be the midrange (option B or 2) for the highlander package.

It's getting off subject, but in my neck of the woods what we call "yellow jackets" are actually paper wasps. My highschool mascot was/is the yellow jacket but the animal being referred to is actually a paper wasp. We don't even have TRUE yellowjackets here in South Texas! I guess it's that way in other parts of the world too. I have been trying to educate others around here and especially my old classmates about how dumb we look when we say we are the "Fighting Yellow Jackets" then hold up a picture of the local paper wasp. :lol:

Re: 72 Highlander-finally

Wasp or yellow jackets----they're all gone now. Tried to turn engine by hand(balancer bolt) with no luck. Pulled a plug and they're BOSCH.
In the garbage they go, bosch and points ignition means trouble! Hopefully it'll turn over after I pull the plugs.

Re: 72 Highlander-finally

The highlander ones aren't my style either but they look better than those! There are some pics of them from discussion on a ebay truck a few days ago. Search "ebay highlander" and it should pop up.
