Do you have a 1972 Plaid Suburban?

REVISED
Many people know about the Highlander Plaid seat trim option on both Chevrolet and GMC conventional light trucks. However in an attempt to reach out to those who don't know I am asking people who are not sure, to please check the trim code/s of their truck/s. Often the seat covers have been replaced leaving few clues beyond white door panels (again often changed) and seat belts with black dash pad, column and carpet. So if you could, please let us know if you have (or just found!) a "Hidden Highlander" The codes to look for are below. Also just in case SPID reading is new to you the code may have leading and trailing numbers even letters. Reading between the lines may be needed. Examples 613, _ 613_ _, 613_ _ As far as the SPID description goes, generally you will see "CUSTOM TRIM COMBINA" or the COLOR followed by "...HIGHLANDER P" This thread is body style specifc so if you have several different body styles please check the other forums for the specific trim codes as applicable. Not trying to cross post this, just touch with all who may have a Highlander. Suburbans Custom Deluxe Z62 mandatory option Avocado 647 Blue 642 Gray 639 Orange 651 REVISED In addition to the Highlander plaid trim your vehicle may ALSO have a Promo Package code. These bundled options with the plaid trim for a cost savings in three packages "A", "B" and "C" On the SPID they are coded: YG6 YG7 YG8 Promo package codes and approximate savings over individual option costs. A= YG6 Plaid Trim, Special Wheelcovers C10 (PA1) or Chrome Hubcaps K5 (K10-20 ?), C20-30 (PO3), Chrome Front Bumper (and rear on Suburban or Blazer), Upper Bodyside Molding (belt, pickups only), Door Edge Guards and Below Eye-Line Mirrors (DG4 on Pickups/Suburbans and DF2 on Blazers). A $94.50 savings. B= YG7 (includes A) Adds Turbo-Hydramatic Trans., Power Steering and Tilt. A $178.50 savings. C= YG8 (includes A and B) Adds A/C and Tint. A $260.50 savings. Finally if you have a lower bodyside molding please indicate the insert color (Woodgrained or Black). |

Found a GMC that is claimed to be a 10K mile original.
Anyone know of it or the auction it was sold through? http://www.chron.com/cars/article/So...#photo-6478136 |

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Suburban?
Yes please post up any Highlanders you may have, every SPID is a useful data point.

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Suburban?
Please if you are not sure check your SPIDs.
Also if you have or know of a K10 or K20 Suburban with factory plaid (on the SPID) please PM me. |

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Suburban?
Suburban's with the highlander option look killer. I think it because most of us truck guys are used to long bed rugged work trucks when we think of highlanders. But suburban's are pleasure cruising vehicles. Add to that multiple seats with loud fabric; it just doesn't get cooler than that.
Love to see pictures... |

Yours does appear to be similarly optioned but the BBC is a very nice bonus touch! |

Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Suburban?
Rest assured your trim code 642 Suburban is a Blue Plaid Highlander.
Being a Highlander Trim upgrade it will have the Highlander goodies like the plaid and black carpet but none of the Promo Package options were included. All other options on your Suburban (other than the Z62 Custom Deluxe) were free choice. This is why your Sub was built with the base mirrors and not the DG4s "included" with Promo Package A or higher as an example.

While not originally part of the concept here for a phantom K30/3500 panel truck, the 72 Highlander trim would be great to offset the 505 Dark Green paint. Either Avocado or Orange plaid on a bench seat or even the Blazer's buckets. |

The suburban is in line for work, but she is pretty far back. I've got a frame swap on my '49 panel and then have to get my '50 pickup running again. After that it is time to work on the suburban. I purposely put it on the back burner as I've got to decide just how I want to approach the repairs I've got to do! |

A few years ago I bought this BB original Highlander Burb but it was too rusty for me to deal with so I resold it. The 80's buckets were in it when I bought it.
