Very rare and hard to find a Highlander of this quality. You can’t build this truck for our price. In 1972, Chevrolet had fully grasped the public’s desire for more comfort and features in a pickup truck. Models like the Cheyenne and Super Cheyenne were hot sellers.

In an effort to keep the sales ball rolling, the GM marketers came out with a few specialty trucks like the ‘Longhorn’ and the ‘Highlander’. The ‘Highlander’ was a low-production model based on the Custom Deluxe that featured a unique seat treatment that combined the Super Cheyenne vinyl with a bright Scottish plaid cloth insert. The interior also featured the Cheyenne door panels, interior lighting package, full carpet, and sun visors. All ‘Highlander’ seats were trimmed in white pearl and had matching white seat belts and white dash pad. On the exterior, the Cheynne theme continued with upper and lower body side molding, chrome accents, and two-tone paint trearment.

To further accent the package, full hubcaps (borrowed from the early Monte Carlos) were fitted. The ‘Highlander’ was a decked out pickup that sold well, but it was a late year value package and not many were built. This particular truck was a “Package C” that featured a tilt wheel, 350-cid engine, air conditioning, and several other added features.
