In the 1970s, truck bed campers gained significant popularity. These campers provided an impressive amount of space and amenities in a compact design, making them a great option for individuals who didn’t want to tow a trailer or drive a motorhome. Even today, modern truck bed campers are highly sought-after for overlanding. The 1970s versions, with their retro charm, have also become collectors’ items.

One such vintage camper is the 1976 Chevrolet Blazer Cheyenne Chalet that was recently featured on Bring A Trailer. Unlike a standard pickup truck, this camper is built on a Chevrolet Blazer K5 platform. It’s one of approximately 1,800 Chalet campers produced during a two-year production run. The vehicle has only 57,000 miles on it and has been freshly refinished with a two-tone tan and bronze paint job. Under the hood, it retains its original 350 cubic-inch V8 engine paired with a three-speed automatic transmission. The engine, rated at 165 horsepower, comes equipped with a four-barrel carburetor, an HEI-style distributor, tubular exhaust headers, and Flowmaster mufflers.
