Evidence status

Original AutoHunter photo 97 clearly matches the listing chassis VIN CKU186F214703. Photo98 records a separate camper identifier 6BCA00713. The selected readings passed independent review; the gallery association does not authenticate the artifacts or original camper/chassis pairing.

Factory documents

No readable SPID, buildsheet, invoice or factory order was identified in the 98 exposed still positions screened. The camper tag and California housing/RV insignia are recorded as separate physical artifacts; they do not establish factory C75/order coding or a production count.

Physical vehicle evidence

GM metal identification/loading plate photo 97: CKU186F214703; GVWR 6,700 lb; front GAWR 3,300 lb; rear GAWR 4,000 lb. No manufacture date or conformity declaration is visible on that piece; historical ratings are not present safe-capacity findings. Photo98 upper tag: 6BCA00713 with separate unlabeled 8 and 76 groups. Lower California housing/RV insignia repeats 6BCA00713 in its VIN field and has RV 360103. The date-like groups are not assigned to chassis manufacture or camper installation.

Owner or seller statements

The dealer described a four-wheel-drive K5 Blazer Cheyenne Chalet with a 400 V8, three-speed automatic, tan/bronze paint and tan vinyl. The seller claimed originality and reported long storage, substantial restoration needs and unsafe-to-drive condition at the auction. These remain dated attributed statements; the tags do not prove original components or current condition.

Later research

AutoHunter lot 61389498 ended November 22, 2024 with a USD 5,300 highest bid. Ended/highest-bid wording does not verify a completed sale or paid amount. Structured odometer 51,845 differs from narrative 51,844; lifetime mileage is unknown. North Shores, Michigan is a dated auction location only. An auction-admin note dated November 20, 2024 says a camper serial-tag photo was added.

Open questions

Authenticate the artifacts and establish original camper/chassis pairing, factory option/order details, manufacture and installation dates, original-component retention, lifetime mileage, later provenance and current custody. Preserve the separate chassis VIN and camper identifier; do not interpret unlabeled 8 76 as a specific event or the California insignia as current compliance.

Readable Chevrolet chassis plate

AutoHunter lot 61389498 identifies a 1976 Chevrolet Blazer Chalet by chassis VIN CKU186F214703. Original gallery photo 97 clearly repeats that full VIN on a GM metal identification/loading plate. The plate lists GVWR 6,700 lb, front GAWR 3,300 lb and rear GAWR 4,000 lb. No manufacture date or conformity declaration is visible on this piece. These historical stamped ratings do not establish present safe loading capacity.

Separate camper identifier

Photo 98 shows an upper metal tag stamped 6BCA00713, with separate 8 and 76 groups below. The visible portion does not label those fields, so the date-like 8 76 inscription is retained without assigning a precise manufacture or installation event. The lower California housing/RV insignia repeats 6BCA00713 in its VIN field and shows RV number 360103.

The camper identifier and Chevrolet chassis VIN are different identifiers. Their association is documented within this one auction gallery; the camper tags do not provide a second independent reading of the complete Chevrolet VIN. Their inscriptions do not establish original pairing, factory C75/order coding, a production total, an installation date or current compliance.

Auction account

The dealer described a four-wheel-drive K5 Blazer Cheyenne Chalet with a 400 V8, three-speed automatic, tan/bronze paint and tan vinyl. The seller’s originality claim remains unverified. The auction account reported long storage and substantial restoration needs; it stated that the vehicle could not be driven safely at that time. These are dated seller statements, not a current mechanical assessment.

The page is marked Ended and displays a $5,300 highest bid on November 22, 2024. This does not establish a completed sale or paid amount. Its structured odometer field reads 51,845, while the narrative reads 51,844; both remain source displays and lifetime mileage is unknown. North Shores, Michigan is the auction’s dated location, not an established current location.

Review scope and remaining questions

All 98 exposed still-image positions were screened, representing 94 unique byte hashes. Photos 97 and 98 were inspected in their linked original versions and independently checked. No readable SPID, buildsheet, invoice or factory order was identified in that exposed still set. No video was assessed. AutoHunter notes that a camper serial-tag photograph was added on November 20, 2024.

Artifact authenticity, original camper/chassis pairing, factory options, manufacture and installation dates, original-component retention, lifetime mileage, later provenance and current custody remain unresolved. This is one vehicle appearance in one auction source family. No source images or private personal details are reproduced.
