Hodge12 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Corresponding with a gentleman who swears he has a 1982 Toyota Chinook that came with a 22R engine. My understanding is that the contract to manufacture Chinooks expired in late 1978 and there are a few were marketed as a 1979 using the last of the 1978 chassis frame. Am I right or were there actually Chinooks (just the straight up poptop, not a Grandsport) produced after '78?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda s Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 General RV made campers until 83 or 84 with the same mold as the Chinook body. Don't know a lot of details about them and there aren't many but they do exist. General became Odyssey motor homes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellopeople4304 Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 I know this is a very old thread, but I have a 1982 Chinook with a 22R. They exist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda s Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 I'm guessing it doesn't say Chinook anywhere. Very possible you do have a small camper that looks just like a Chinook. General RV bought the shell molds from Chinook and made them through 1984. Not a lot of them, but they do exist. Oh and General RV is the same company as Odyssey.

Hellopeople4304 Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Yep that's exactly what it is, and it has the original drivers side sticker from them still on it. Also doesn't have windows in the front, has the indent for it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
