Re: Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup?

On my way back from lunch today and met this truck at a red light. Saw the caps and made a u-turn to chase it down...found it in the parking lot of Harbor Freight. Went inside and found the owner. A lovely old gentlemen in overalls and with a cane. He is the second owner since '74. It's had one respray and had a seat cover over the blue plaid. He didn't know what a Highlander was, but knew it was well optioned. Interior was gorgeous. Tilt, A/C, sparkling original carpet, and the factory radio...and it's had the camper top the whole time...a very complete and unmolested original. Just over 100k miles. We talked for about 10 minutes and exchanged info. It's committed to his son, but what a gem. Lucky just to see it and hear the story. Wish I had more pics.
