Blazer camper?
Ebay ad
Bucket seats from a Blazer camper? Interior looks to be 67/68 vintage and no pics of entire vehicle. I'm just wondering what the vehicle really is? Possibly a cowl model with an aftermarket camper cab/body combo? Anybody nearby in WA state care to take a look? Just curious, I find it hard to believe it's actually a Blazer.

Interesting, I do have reason to believe that there is such a thing as a blazer camper, as my dad claims to have had one, and has been trying to convince me that these did exist. He never had pictures of it. I showed him pictures of a truck with camper shell, a truck with slide in camper, and the truck with the huge camper (where back of cab is cut open for access) and he said that those where not what he had. Swears his was a blazer with a camper built in, not added (like the slide in campers).
I would love to see pictures of one.... |

There is the famous 76/77 Blazer Chalet . But nothing in the 69-72 vintage. The way the seats look, it appears the camper is an extension of the cab, not a slide in unit.
Anyway, pics are now mandatory...Super Duck you have homework to do

Yes there was a camper model I cant remember the name but it might have been Yukon. There were a couple of them in town. They had a rear overhang like alot of the big slidein campers of that time. Okay chalet is the one I remember. John

Chinook Mobilodge in WA may have gotten ahold of this so-called Blazer Camper and done a conversion similar to this?

They did make a Blazer camper. I have seen a few for sale. It has a cab-over camper on it rather than the fiberglass top. In later years, they were called the "chalet" (One of the board members has this brochure web site that shows second gen blazer chalet - http://brochures.slosh.com/). I would assume the First Gen Campers were an aftermarket product.
Those seats don't look right for 69-72 trucks though.

I've seen a pic of a 69 blazer camper.It might have been in that 67-72 magazine.It was a "factory picture",not sure if it was produced.The camper part had a tag axle under it to support the overhang!

There were campers made (similar to the later model Chalet's) that went on a '69 - '72 Blazer. I have seen pictures.

Is this a Blazer? The door appears to look like a truck door but looks to short to be a short bed. What do you all think?

I seen that Jeff, I was curious too.
Mark, there was one like that for sale in Colorado about a month or so ago. Someone found it on another site. I can't find it now on the blazer board I guess its to long ago.

Looking through the windshield sure looks like a Blazer, no back wall visibile at all.

The auction for the seats looks like it is in a truck cab. The carpet on the wall behind the seat is identical to my C30 camper. The door gasket is visable in one picture and it is higher up than it would be on a blazer. I think it is a chassis mounted camper with a walk thru and an extra pedistal seat from an old fishing boat mounted between the seats.
Speaking of the 73+ blazer campers. There is one in the local Wright County shopper. Claims it is in excellent shape and priced in the upper 4,000's.

Da-burb that's what I thought too. Plus that steering wheel is the 3 spoke 67/68 style ... not that it couldn't have been swapped on

In both the white and the bronze one you can see the windshield/top seal so they are obviously K5 bodies. And like it has been said that is not a Blazer body on ebay.
I've only seen pics of something like the white camper where the section over the cab is Four Wheel Campers' own design. That Bronze K5 from Colorado looks like the regular hard top that's been chopped behind the front seats like a half cab? He claims it to be a 68 1/2 which could explain the earlier steering wheel... and why it isn't a blazer. However, more pics will be interesting to see! Personally I like either of the earlier campers above better than the Casa Grande/Chalet. Whatever the origin having a center jumpseat would be nice but I would hope the factory could make it look a little more like it belongs there.
