Ah yes the chalet....god i love mine...and it shames me to have her without motor right now. Finished my tbi swap and as i was watching my scanner the temp got a lil outa hand as the number 5 and 6 rods spun....so yet another 400 bit the dust...so...just built a motor for the wifes V2500 burb...that motor is getting built as a replacemnet...350...040....tbi cam...etc. Bummer is she will not be ready in time for the CK5 Blazer Bash 03 in Moab Utah...but...Aaron is bringing his out from NoCal for all to see..
And actually when mine is running....i swap the chalet and the 79 out every other week...kinda like the army teaches you to do in boot camp with your new boots....lol. The number 1 comment i get is usually at a gas station...nice truck...nope thats a blazer...get out...thats a truck...then i point out the lack of a bed and the K5 emblem....lol. And at stop lights traffic piles to the lane i'm not in...then i smoke'um...lol. We are gonna do some light wheelin with Aaron's chalet for the web sight...maybe some avi's or the such.
As far as rare..yes they are...we are thinking with all the years of getting numbers from the back door plates that the numbers might be smaller than thought as a thought aaron compared numbers with the toy chinook sight and it looks like they were produced from the same line as the numbers mingle together.
And the rarest of all.....sits with no motor or trans a scant 50 miles from where i live...but i don't have a spare $1500 laying around....yes a 1977 GMC Jimmy CASA GRANDE!!!!!!!!! I'm thinking tax time next year i show up with a trailer on the burb and cash in hand....lol.
