1969 K5 Blazer / pop-up camper - $1500 (SE)

red71cheyenne · 09-28-2009, 07:55 PM

Do they call that a Chalet? I was thinking that was the option name...

Twisted78SS · 09-28-2009, 08:12 PM

Not sure, but it does not look like the Chalets I have seen before..
Some people called them that anyway,
Here is another post on them

Thats sweet! I always wanted a first generation blazer with a camper on it. I bet whoever buys that one tosses the old camper though.

4Wheel brand, Hallmark brand, and Sportsman brand are all strictly aftermarket.

Chalets and Casa Grandes were the GM factory ones, '76-'77 only, Travis "tvblazer78" put together a nice page about them over here. The can't-miss identifier for a Chalet or Casa Grande is the matching set of Blazer/Jimmy taillights.

To get back on topic...

Anybody gone to look at it yet?

bouncytruck · 09-28-2009, 10:00 PM

It isn't technically a Chalet, because those were really a 3rd gen feature, but I've heard people call them a Chalet. There was just someone looking for one on the board.

vtblazer · 09-29-2009, 05:36 AM

I'd buy that in a heartbeat if it were over here...

**Gary 70 Jimmy** · 09-29-2009, 10:15 AM

I would like to have it but it is to fare away.

That's how I see them too, except I guess I never really made a 5th gen, I just grouped 80-91 together.

Arizonak5 · 09-29-2009, 11:57 AM

The only reason i do that is because of the swap to tbi, it was a pretty big change!

red71cheyenne · 09-29-2009, 09:38 PM

Bouncy, what makes you say they were 3rd Gen? Was there a dealer option for it then?

I pretty much lump everything from 76 up as 3rd Gen since the body changes were so minimal.

Maybe I oversimplify it but I only feel like there are 3 generations.

69-72 - 1st
73-91 - 2nd
92-99 - 3rd

To me a "generation" change is when a platform is completely redesigned/re-engineered...but that's just my opinion.

**lks dcvn** · 09-30-2009, 07:50 AM

I would buy it for the (what I think is a half top) alone...

bouncytruck · 09-29-2009, 11:51 PM

As far as I know, the Chalet was only available 76+. I believe it was a factory option based on the brochures at http://brochures.slosh.com/

TonyJohnson · 09-30-2009, 09:08 AM

That looks like a cut down Blazer top. Note the black molding connecting it to the camper.

Arizonak5 · 10-01-2009, 11:37 AM

im a blazer nut and get more in depth than just 3 gens, 76-91 had big changes front clips, front axel change, motor config,trans changes, t-case changes, interior changes, thats a lot of changes so when you say 3rd gen you could be talking about a og 2wd 76 or a 91 tbi 4x4?? big diff

1956cameo · 10-02-2009, 10:55 AM

I have to go with Critter and AZK5 on this one! There are three generations of blazer at best. I guess the rest are seperating the 73-75 from the 76-80 because of the whole top vs. half top change? Other than that and maybe some minor stuff unnoticeable to the average person the 75 and 76 blazers are pretty much identical. I don't know to me that isn't enough. To me a generation change is an entire body style change. To me even the 73-80 and 81 and up are basically the same generation.

bouncytruck · 10-02-2009, 12:46 PM

The whole top vs half top is a pretty big change.

I don't really know much about the 76+ so I get lazy and lump them into one generation. I'm sure there is a lot more than that though.

bouncytruck · 10-03-2009, 11:32 AM

Every time I see a new post on this thread, I'm half expecting someone to post pictures of it sitting in front their house.

budder71 · 10-03-2009, 05:47 PM

I called the guy 3 times and he hasn't answered the phone yet ....
I would like to see more pictures of the front end and make an offer
if I can get him on the phone...
