Last i looked the only Bosch housings that you could touch were the high beams. The low beam housings were also used for overseas gm fog lights. However hens teeth and unobtanium are the key words. Thats why i did the complete core support swap to get the H6054's in play so i had options. I...

I believe the Denver/Phoenix K5 with pop top and cummins was done in a shop in MT if i remember right years back as i saw the pics online. Trying to find it online is kicking my butt currently.

I need to replace the super joint on the right side and i was thinking of trying one of those new fangled RCB's with the red boots. I have used my arb's once or twice in sand that wasn't to bad with no issues. My superjoint just didn't get enough grease which is my bad. I think however you hit...

Loved the pictures. Was the u joint worn or have you got it out yet to inspect it for cause of failure....other than a case of lead foot itis. Lol. I have moly shafts in the Jimmy with super joints.

Looks amazing mr. I am jealous. Stopped by the fiberglass shop today to see the new rear door on the chalet and discovered that someone flubbed the measurements on the door. Told the girl in the office it was unacceptable. Not sure what they are going to do. At this point i am getting no where...

Add states 69-75 K5 Blazer in Colorado Springs for $500. https://cosprings.craigslist.org/rvs/d/4-wheel-camper-fork5-blazer/6281785160.html

I was looking at options on the fridge issue for the chalet. I am thinking an arb style with dual compartments and a sideways slide made by socal teardrops. I suffer from the wood working issues as well. I suck. I need to find someone in junction who doesn't also suck who can help plan the...

Its mounted....front doesn't seal well at all. But i only had a day to do the swap before i had to go to work.

Found her 10 minutes after she was posted on craigslist...talk about luck and or fate... Drove down today and put 3 bills down on her....i am so happy its funny...lol. Anyone want to buy a chalet? Lol. DW

If the lord doesn't strike me down before now and 11am tomorrow...i will have secured my own K5 Fwc localy. Since my 79 is the same color...lol...so shall be the camper to match.... Took a few shots of yours when it was in the shop in GJ. He took pix of the shock mounts while i was there. Where...

Ran into a guy in grand junction colorado who has a 72 Jimmy with a rather clean 4 Wheel Pop Top. Since he owns a road ready early 70's GM motor home he'd like to part with the camper in trade for a top and tailgate. If anyone is interested get a hold of me and i'll get you in touch with him. DW

Desert Geo was going with 37's...so i wanted to tell him what kind of mileage i get. Right now she is stock except a military cold weather cover over the hard top. Pretty sure at 65 with a FWC the mileage will be fairly close.

BTW...700R4-TBI 350-4.88's-35's...13.54mpg to phx yesterday. DW

Have a jewel of a deal once again... Just need some info... Will a 72 K5 FWC fir on a 79 FWC? If so i will finally have one in good shape! DW

Looking for a Blazer model FWC. Selling off my blazer chalet to go lighter. Would prefer camper only...willing to pay good money for an excellant shape example...need it for work and a place to live. DW

Desert Geo... I'll assume the handle refers to pebble pimps...roc docs etc. ? I am moving back to junction minus my 76 K5 Chalet as she is going to auction. I feel i don't need twin K5's but i do need a camper for play and work in the oil patch. I am scrounging around right now trying to...

Since i am getting closer to bringing home my Blazer model FWC... And since i will have to tear it done it appears to the bare aluminum frame and come back up with it to repair the damaged wood panels and such... I was wondering if the pictures i nabbed from an online article showing a camper...

Buzzman...TBI. An off the shelf TBI conversion kit from a good source that i would recommend like Howell Engineering will run about $1200. And its a 4 wire hook up for the main harness besides connecting the various senors and what ever you decide to do with or for fuel pump or pumps. I have...

Buckstop Since i work in the oilfield and travel quite a bit i bought a buckstop outback model bumper for my 06 2500 HD work truck. Although (knock on wood) i have not hit a deer or elk with it i can say it is also bridge proof as well. Ie: 2 am...down hill icy...sliding...you can figure the...

Airbags and such.... Just a thought.... I worked for freightliner for 11 years and i was the stooge that volunteered to go to salt lake for my FCCC training not realizing how many FTL FCCC's frequent western colorado....not something i enjoyed working on full time needless to say...lol...

Buzzman.... The 700R4 was a great up grade but have you ever looked into installing a TBI system on that old girl as well? Its a fairly easy upgrade and well worth the improvement in power and economy... DW

And this is the intended recipient of the FWC Blazer model camper....my desert tan 79 K5.... DW

Here is a picture of the camper i will be recieving....she is in sad shape as you can see. And the other shot is my current K5 with camper the 76 chalet pictured with the donor of the next camper. DW

Nice looking combo you have there. Getting ready to do one myself from the ground up for my 79 K5 that i want a camper on thats lighter than my chalet. DW

My 2 cents worth.... I have had my blazer chalet for about 13 years now... And here is my thoughts. Airbags are great...i run 5 to 10 psi in my bags. I hate Firestones mounting methods though. A u-bolt around the spring pack which to some degree pre-loads the over load spring in the pack...
