Chalets are only '76-'77s. If you saw a first gen Blazer with a camper on it, that would most likely be an aftermarket 4Wheel brand one. If the camper had the tell-tale matching Chevy taillights and the backward slanting windows on both sides and the twin vista windows in the front, then it was a Chalet or Casa Grande. If you have the opportunity to go by there again sometime soon, let us know, pics are needed along with a note of what the serial number / build date is, from the plate by the back door.

Speaking of Casa Grandes, I found an ad for one in Sandy Ut that was from last Sept, but the seller hasn't yet responded to calls or emails: http://www.myutahautos.com/cars/1976/GMC/Jimmy/109074

Thanks for the confirmation, no worries, I know one or two other guys in that general area. What was the name of the junkyard?
