Following now. Managed to miss the start of this thread 'til now (so many other distractions, so little time to keep up with hobby stuff.

Still makes my skin crawl that whichever intervening owner between the classic car dealership in Boise and the guy in Indy who had all these Chalets (or else it was that Indy owner) yanked the stripes off and incorrectly repainted the camper unit. I can see the overspray where the forward camper area meets the truck cab. Makes for a ton of extra work for you to correct that, but at least you have it documented that it was that way in the first place. Here's hoping the camper paint comes off easy.

Do you see any factory markings (greasepencil) in the areas previously hidden from view? I see what looks like "CFA" on the forward left side of the camper. One junkyard Chalet truck was spotted with the word "Chalet" in greasepencil where the lower back tailgate area is (it was camperless at that point with a tailgate installed), and another pair of separated camper units I've seen had the camper serial numbers marked on the lower forward camper area.

Yes there is grease pencil on both sides of the camper. Nothing on the Blazer that I saw. I was on a tight schedule getting the Blazer to the body shop and getting the camper out of my stepdads shop before I left and didn't get any good pics of it them. I'll make it a point to get some next time I'm down.

Much appreciated!
