Appreciate the welcomes & compliments. A couple of years ago, I sent an email inquiry to some Chevrolet customer service web page, to ask if anyone knows the actual production figures for these. No response. Last summer, I sent the same inquiry to a GMC customer rep site, expecting nothing. However, about a month later I received a reply:
Thank you for contacting the GMC Customer Assistance Center. We appreciate you taking the time to write us in regards to productions figures on the 1976-1977 GMC Jimmy Casa Grande and the 1976-1977 Chevrolet Blazer Chalet.
The production totals are
1976 Blazer Chalet camper total is 688
1977 Blazer Chalet camper total is 867
1976 GMC Jimmy total is 18,551
1977 GMC Jimmy total is 21,013
No breakdown for GMC available
Our guess for both years of the GMC Casa Grande version is only 225, if the total production figure of 1780 is accurate, according to a "magazine reference" cited in the blazerchalet.com web site.
