I gave up and caved in on a camper

ngsd · Oct 12, 2021

After searching with no luck for a Bronco camper like the one pictured, I decided to go to the dark side and get a Blazer Chalet that came up for sale today. They are still reasonable but getting more expensive by the day so thought I could at least have fun with it while I restore it and hopefully a Bronco camper surfaces someday.

Well.......That is just awesome!

Very cool Blazer. Please post up more picks when you can, I have never seen one of those in person.

Those are cool. We discussed one I stumbled on a while back and decided it wouldn't be what we really wanted or needed so we passed. They are definitely cool all the same.

Great find. Looks to be in pretty good shape.

Post more pictures and info please.

Nice. I love the Blazers! One sold recently for 38k or something like that on BAT. I also saw one around here not too long ago for sale but I had my eyes on a bronco so I didn't even tempt myself.

My dad had a K5 when I was a teen; I loved that truck.
I do recall very clearly that there were stickers on the inside of the removable rear hard top, which stated that the blazer was not intended for use with a slide-in camper. I guess the Chalet gets around that by not sliding in? lol. Regardless, this is very cool and I would not mind having one myself.

Yeah I saw that. That is a nice one but not what I wanted to budget for my camping needs. The Blazer is a budget friendly alternative!

That Bronco camper has been for sale a long time (several years?) now. Started out about $29K and has yet to change hands.

Thanks the only downside is that it is taking time away from the broncos!

They're all distractions from each other. My '96 FSB is a distraction from my '70 EB pick-up, and my '71 Wagoneer is a distraction from my FSB.

Some light reading for you: https://www.wanderthewest.com/forum/topic/14998-four-wheel-blazer-pop-up-finally-found-one/

Highly recommend finding a set of the Rancho K5 "Pre-Runner" springs that I posted the p/n for ages ago on cK5.com. Unlike like nearly all other Rancho springs these are exceptionally good and nice riding front leaf springs.

DirtDonk · Sep 6, 2023

I remember those springs. Sounds like they aren’t for sale anymore from Rancho and you have to find a set when they come up for sale? Or can you still buy them new?
Either way, might be just as cost-effective to have some custom-made.

Good to know..

Had me a string of K5 blazers before I found the bronco. I think I started with a 69 then a 72, a 74 and lastly an 83? Had a great time in all of them.
