I am the guy you bought the truck from. I still have my SWB Highlander. I am glad to see you are restoring it. Here is a pic of what he started with.

My '72 very closely aligns (...if not exactly aligns) with all the information that you have posted up Tim.
As for when the highlander package 'kicked in' as a sales offering....not sure, but my truck was built in/on April 19/1972 (see included build sheet and spid)...which is fairly early in the year and the system/paper work to order it must have been in the pipe a lot earlier than that.
All the coloring, woodgrain, package stuff (group C), seems to line right up.
The only thing that the truck had that wasn't on the spid/build sheet was the chrome/sport rear bumper....dealer added or?
The original owner/buyer of the truck was definitely an old guy (late 80's) when the truck came my way so I'm not sure as to the bumper install history...doesn't really matter too much at this point. He and his history didn't strike me as a guy who was changing/updating his truck over the years...just carefully driving it...luckily.
Love the truck, love the option group....gave up a '72 Cheyenne Super to get this one due to its condition and original unmolested equipment.
Regardless....great thread.

All Good

BB72chevykt,
I also have a swb highlander that I am restoring to "as original as I can" its nice to see other short beds out there.

Thanks to Tim for keeping me on track during the process.

But how I would love to have a big block short bed highlander. Keep your Cheyenne supers. Yes I said that. and I have not been drinking much.

Mine was originally 350/3 OTT. I have not seen a short bed big block Highlander yet.

Here you go, but as far as I know I'm still first in line if it comes up for sale.

SS Tim · 10-10-2014, 06:03 PM

This is more to my needs though. Just a bit (25") bigger!
