Favourite generation, year, or facelift of the Chevy Blazer

[ChevroletK5Blazer]

What is your favourite generation, year, or facelift of the Chevy blazer. Mine are the blazers from 1981-1988.

 

[nvrenuf]

80 w/ square headlamps
89-91 w/ quad headlamps

 

[Tnsejed]

89-91 Quad headlamps

No contest. The last of the original, '72 Blazer.

I like the 1st gens the best and 84-85 with quad headlights second.

 

[TJ1978]

Round eyes...73-79. Fav is 76-79 perfect burly front for a square.

Ditto--my first K5 was a '72,and I owned a ;71 CST later on..the egg crate grille and single headlamps are the best looking noses GM ever had...I owned a '71 GMC and thought the grille on it was ugly in comparison..
Second best K5 as far as looks was my '75 2wd ,it was the last year for a full vert,but had the single round headlights and a squared off grille..

My top 2 favorite GM's though,remain the '55-'57 Chevy pickup noses and the '60-'66 GM pickups and Carryall panel trucks,especially the '61 with the "eyebrow" hood ..

Far as I'm concerned after 1988,all GM's became "blah" looking clones of every other make & model...the "rounded style" cab and Suburbans..just don't enthuse me at all..

It's a toss up between the 82-88 stacked quad headlights and the 89-91 trying to be like the gmt400 front ends. Although i feel ALL are good. And i like GMC grills better.

i think Mike Leathers styled the trucks including the front ends. And chevy styled the gmc grills and trims.

Listen to this fascinating interview:

I liked the '74 GMC grill best on square bodies..kept one I had on a '77 GMC,also kept a '73 K10 grille ..

 

[Recon 78]

78

With 79 bezels

That was my favorite for a long time. Owning an '83 quad-headlight GMC with the crossbar grill slowly changed my mind. Not '82, not '85. Just '83/'84.

Cool!

Is that a single light on top or is it just the picture? If it's single how did you make that work and have a link to the light?

I’m a first generation guy.
69-70 is my favorite front look. Sometimes the auto companies get it right the fist time
