Wow , I just went thru all 55 pages .

Springinotic078 · 06-17-2019, 10:36 PM

Here is mine. Pictures are a few years old, I've since added carpet and wheels but otherwise truck is mostly original. Very minimal cancer and I use it mainly as a cruiser during the summer months. You can't see in the pics but the seat has some heavy wear and tear on the drivers side.

Thank you for the welcome. Yea, I have been here a while but just like to browse. I have certainly gleaned a lot of solid information from the members here.

Hi Modela1929. If you reply under the advance settings you can attach pics with the little paper clip. Upload one at a time.

**68bowtie** · 09-13-2019, 10:05 AM

Nice!!!

engineer_gregh · 09-13-2019, 11:01 AM

Way too pretty to put PA1 hubcaps on! Just my .02 cents.

modela1929 · 11-14-2019, 12:39 PM

Hi

But it will probably be the 1972 Highlander
If you know any one interested
Thanks modela 1929

**HO455** · 05-10-2020, 12:07 PM

After several failed searches and looking through most of this thread I'm giving up and asking.
Does anyone know how much plaid material is needed to replace the fabric on a highlander bench seat?
I'm not an upholster so I need help.
Thank you in advance.

Thank you in advance.

I had a set of buckets redone and my upholsterer said to get 1 or 1 1/12 sq. yards. I wanted the patterns symmetrical, I'm anal that way, so ordered 2 sq. yard and have a good chunk left over. I bought mine from SMS and think 2 yards would be plenty to redo a bench seat. If your getting the material from SMS they should have an idea of what you need.

**HO455** · 05-10-2020, 01:50 PM

I understand about being particular about things.

Your seats turned out beautiful as a result. Likely better than GM would have.
It looks like the bucket version uses about half as much material as the bench seat version.
Thanks for the reply.

guy0783 · 05-18-2020, 05:53 PM

I was pointed to this thread and figured I'd add my truck although it has been stripped of it's plaid, trim, and original colors. It's still a Highlander at heart.

guy0783 · 05-21-2020, 04:15 PM

Figured I'd add a couple more pics. Stock 350, stock AC equip, parchment door panels and visors, black dash pad, tilt wheel, black carpet, seat recovered, but still gray/off-white

**davischevy** · 05-26-2020, 10:15 PM

I have had this truck out back for several years.

I was taking the picture for another option. I had forgotten it was a Highlander. I'll get some pictures. I think it has a saddle blanket on the seat. It is pretty rusty, but unaltered.
