Default Four Wheel Popup Campers in Ford Broncos







Hey Guys,
I have done a series of blog posts on Four Wheel campers in 66-77 and 78-79 Broncos. Do you have any more photos or information on them?

A reader on Classic Broncos.com started a post and there was some good information there.

Early Broncos have been my vehicle of choice for years and the thought of having a camper on the back makes me woozy with excitement!

Dang, where was this when I was doing my research like 6 months ago. I had had the thought that a Bronco or K5 blazer with a pop-top truck camper would rock, but couldn't find much info at the time.

I went and bought a van, so now I'm sort of committed to another path, but those look awesome.

I love the ideas of these or the Chalet Blazer. Maybe it is because they are so different? I have to admit, I there is probably not much room in the early bronco unit, but the 78/79 or 80-86 would work well. Imagine at 79 with a 4BT diesel?

Default K5 FWC in SD.

There's a K5 Blazer w/FWC here in San Diego. It's a daily driver with swingout bumper. The guy's a rockhound. Somedays I feel like leaving him a note..."when your ready to sell".

Call 4wheelcampers in Sacramento- they know all about them. They were built in Colorado and most of the used ones are still there. 4WC will refurb one for you if you find one.

Those are cool for sure.
I have always thought that a late model (96) Bronco with a solid front axle and a four wheel camper would be a blast.
