Hi Guys-
Have recently picked up a full size 1975 GMC Jimmy. I have heard that a limited edition Jimmy pop-up camper was produced from 1972-1989 or so. Anyone have any info on this beast?

Speedline,

They called it a Chevy Blazer Chalet or a GMC Jimmy Casa Grande. The very rare GMC model offering was the 1976 "Jimmy Casa Grande". This was a GMC Jimmy, with a camper cap over the back. It had a pop up top that gave 6'7" of head room. The cab allowed easy access to the camper. The camper was designed to sleep two. There were optional overhead bunks to sleep four. The camper was equipped with an LP gas stove, and a refrigerator too. Click on these links. GMC Casa Grande
