Don't get me wrong a lot of people like them and they do add a look to the truck. Its even gotten to the point many people think they were a factory option. Unfortunately I burned out on that look thiry years ago.
Rallys do however provide a good factory wheel that is wider than stock yet is very subtle behind wheelcovers on a CK-10.

I've spent a lot of time researching and trying to clarify the details of the upgrade Highlander Plaid trim and its inclusion in the Promo Packages. Its gratifying to see so many people taking an interest and saving or restoring the original trim.

Also I'd like to thank Jocko and Already Gone for their efforts in sharing the knowledge, finding Highlanders for sale or reference and keeping this thread as acive as it is.

Haven't seen many solid paint Highlander's. This one was originally White.

There are a fair number of solid paint Highlanders, including every Blazer, but often they are repainted as a two-tone like this truck was.

Even White with white/plaid trim is seen on occasion but this is the first White with Avocado as I recall.

I, for one, am a HUGE fan of solid white Highlanders..

I think that truck is fairly close to me in OK. Pretty sure I contacted the guy, but never heard back.

[72 Super]

That would be an excellent truck to restore. Would love to see a solid Orange Highlander.

nice truck

Here's a hidden highlander for ya (they don't even know it's a C20, let alone a Highlander...). Even the price is hidden. But, seriously, pretty solid and original YG8 C20 in AZ (I'm guessing original plaid is still under the JC Whitney seat cover and it's POSSIBLY original paint (code matches what it currently is and is that an original dealer sticker on the tailgate?? Maybe not, seems too nice for original, but who knows...): http://tucson.craigslist.org/ctd/5887754557.html

And look Tim, no lower trim!!

[Chulisohombre]

That is pretty clean. No price on the cost on the cl ad either.

They also have a blue/white 1974 Cheyenne Super shorty @ $22,795.00.

$17,795.00 for the blue C/20 Highlander. Are those the correct hub caps for it?

[SS Tim]

Way too much money for that C20 as it appears.

The wheelcovers shown were offered as RPO PA1 on 15" wheel equipped C10s (Pickup, Blazer or Suburban) in 72 (including Cheyenne Supers!) and were also included (as part of the package) on C10 Promo Package Highlanders YG6, YG7 or YG8.

So yes they are correct for a C10 Promo Package Highlander, but not this C20 being offered.

That would be a nice truck. A big block with the YG8 Package and Monotone Dark Olive Paint. If it isn't too far gone it would nice to restore.

[Already Gone]

Tim, any idea ( and I'm thinking its impossible to find out ) how many Highlanders were produced by GM ? With 867 posts in this thread have you done a breakdown of how many of the various models of Highlander have been posted?

It has minimal rust. they are gonna resto it.its at my place for the mechanical part.

[Already Gone]

Here is a real short wheel base ( CE10734 ) Highlander on EBay now.

That's a nice one Greg, was looking at it on ebay earlier. A true shortie. Something seemed not quite right about the seats though - correct plaid and parchment and all that, but the panel size looks off to me. What stood out to me was the height of the upper vinyl panel above the plaid, looks about 4-5" too thick to me, and the seam location (looks like it's on top instead of in front) - anyone else seeing this or is it my imagination? The orange looks darker, almost a rusty color (the plaid I mean) but it may just be the lighting, because the pattern looks just right. Probably sounds like I'm nit-pickin, sorry - I'm not, that is a sweet truck, I really like it. Those aren't PA1s on there, but close though! I'd slap the correct ones on there, or, since I'm not a huge PA1 fan, maybe some PO1s (like yours Greg - I think it looks great like that) or PO3s for good measure. But I don't care, a swb highlander doesn't come along every day, would love to have this one for sure!

No wonder the dealer never called me back, they must not really want to sell it... (Caramba, that seems steep to me). Now, if it were a Custom Camper...

[72 Super]

The Orange truck was the one on EBay a few weeks ago. It was said to have been in storage and someone had stolen the interior. I'm not sure if it sold or not, but someone put some interior in it. The door panels looks nice from what I can see.

I'm just wondering is that a factory seat? Or something close. Looks like it comes up quite high in the rear window picture.
Either way I would love to own it.

Wow, good catch - I didn't even notice the overall seat height. Hmm.

[Already Gone]

You guys are right Post #829, and it has those same hubcaps on it. Same spid pic too.
