Vehicle Description
The Chevrolet Blazer Chalet was only produced in 1976 and 1977 and
in relatively limited numbers It is estimated that only around
1,800 of them and the GMC Jimmy Casa Grande version were produced
and they are very rare now.
The Chalet was produced through as a joint venture between
Chevrolet and RV-manufacturer Chinook, hoping to capitalize on
America's growing interest in outdoor adventures during that time.
The process created a step-through camper that was permanently
installed onto the rear of a K5 Blazer. Because of the extensive
modifications involved in the process, it has been rumored that the
Chalets feature the best build quality of the K5 production
run.
While the campers were produced with a pop-top roof, this one had
the roof permanently affixed at some point during prior ownership.
While there are some rust spots on the body, the frame seems to
show little to none, basically just some surface rust.
