The Chevrolet Blazer Chalet and its sibling, the GMC Jimmy Casa Grande, were only built in 1976 and 1977 by General Motors in partnership with Chinnook Mobile. This 1976 Chevrolet Blazer Chalet 4x4 is number 258 out of approximately 1700 produced during their two-year run. This rare camper is equipped with many of the comforts of home, including propane gas two-burner stove, heater and domestic refrigerator that can run off a generator when the truck is plugged in. There are also four 110 outlets for a coffee maker, fans and other electrical items. A ten-gallon water fresh water tank with an electric pump is onboard to provide water for the sink. The couches fold down to create a sleeping area and the top can be raised three feet to allow more living space as well as two bunks to sleep in. A Kenwood stereo AM/FM/CD player with roof mounted speakers provide music for long distance cruising or just relaxing when parked. A Cobra CB radio is also onboard. The air conditioning system blows cold and has been updated with R134.
Painted attractively in white and green, some of the exterior upgrades include a 6-inch Rough Country lift kit with double shocks up front, air bags in the rear and a period correct grill guard with four LED off-road lights. The front axle has a truss support and the rear axle has a large TEC sway bar installed. Additionally, a Monster 12000 synthetic rope winch with remote is installed on the front frame rails. The custom rear bumper features LED lights and a swing away spare tire. Rolling on black Ultra Motorsports wheels wrapped with beefy General Grabber tires, this is a great looking truck.
