Hello to all,
I will tell you all the mystery about the camper on the 1972 blazer & the GMC Model. I own one of these rare classics, that my father ordered brand new in the fall of 1971. He ordered a Hugger Orange 4WD K/5 Blazer from Griesbach Chevrolet in Hortonville, Wisconsin. This Camper was OKed From General Motors, and if you wanted a camper on the blazer ,the dealership would take your vehicle to Ronco Camper Company in Osseo, Minnesota and build the camper on the blazer. It was not meant to be taken off. You could get a door on the back or use your tailgate and have a fold up window ,like a topper. The Blazer I have has 63000 miles on it and is in very good condition considering is is a wisconsin vehicle. I will send pics soon. The 1977 Blazer Chalet was built right at the factory. The 1972 Model was taken from the dealerships to Minnesota, Including the Canadian built Blazers.
