Do you have a 1972 Plaid Pickup? - Page 36 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

SS Tim · 11-27-2016, 03:20 AM

Clearly a flipper and even being just registered in California (from AZ) I'd want to see the VIN plate/rivets and the frame partial VIN.

If the "original paint" claim is important, I'd be asking about the tape line on the SPID.

The seat is clearly a "creation" and a long way from correct.

Here are LINKS to the earlier post and auction.

Got to love the shorty highlanders. That my original color scheme too. Not sure about wheel choice. ha

mitchell72 · 11-27-2016, 01:57 PM

However, it is nice to see a truck that has the original radio and hasn't had speakers cut into the doors.

SS Tim · 11-27-2016, 02:38 PM

Welcome back! How is Shorty doing?

mitchell72 · 11-27-2016, 07:28 PM

Thanks Tim. Im down here in North Fontana now. Right now I'm rebuilding the stock 350. Its stock appearing on the outside, nothing special. Its a slow process, right now its about hunting down OEM style components like a water pump and fuel pump, everything else is accounted for. Also, I'm doing little things like painting the oil pan the correct color. (No chrome under this hood). It will take some time but I will post the updates on my build thread as progress is made.

Bid went to 16,000.00 with the reserve not being met. He should ( IMHO ) took the money and ran.

He must have made a deal off EBay cause the auction was shut down with the beginning price posted.

**mrtoni** · 12-04-2016, 03:24 AM

It's on la craigslist for highest offer

Are those screenshots from this website of the VIN decoders...
EDIT - nope, disregard - those look more like Chip's decoders.

It looks good. But I don't know about $28000 good.

OARNGESI · 12-06-2016, 05:46 PM

That orange and white Hillander belonged to my dad he sold it outside of eBay it's definitely original paint I know the original owner that bought it new it sat in storage since the early 90s.

Again, clearly at least the inside of the glovebox door has been repainted and over the edges of the SPID. Usually this indicates a much larger repaint.

**Already Gone** · 12-12-2016, 12:05 AM

Here is genuine swb non package Highlander with tilt and A/C.

**jocko** · 12-12-2016, 12:34 AM

A little work, I guess !! As we used to say in the car business, "some of the newness has left her".. Be sure nice to see it redone to original.

**Already Gone** · 12-25-2016, 09:06 PM

Here is a C20 non-package Highlander that has had some tweaking over the years. Roof lights added, big block replaced with a small block and a sun roof added.

Very nice. Curious if the build sheet is tucked away in the seat springs like some Fremont trucks....

Not that lucky, but I do have the protect o plate
