Ok, I know we are in a 4x4 forum but, not all blazers are K5's. Everyone here is forgetting about the fullsize 2WD blazer. The K designates a 4x4 version. So what do they call the fullsize 2WD version? C5 maybe???

Sales brochures
The 1976 brochure doesn't mention the Chalet; that would be the 1977 brochure. Check out the brochures page where I have scanned copies of both.

Yes, the IFS Blazers started in 92. My mom had one and I wished she still had it.

actually, the T designation is for the 2wd version of the small blazer... S-10 and T-10
if I remember correctly the 2wd version of the late model full-size blazer (92+) is R-10... (4x4 = V-10)

Re: Iceman, beg to differ
I've got some of the broshure information for the 76 Blazer in my webshots. Click the link in my sig, then at the bottom of my page click on my pitures link, go into the photo album titled "New Pic's" and you can download the information. Hope it'll help.

i think they are reading a little differently into your question than you intended. 1969-1991 full size blazers wit ha removable top are K5's like you are looking at. the only differnce that you will immediatly see is that the 19691975 models have removable ful tops instead of the half-cab edesign. there was a s-10 blazer made around 1983 and up i do believe. it chaned over in the mid 90's to tahoe or something like stated above. the K5 blazers and jimmys changed to IFS front in 92. these trucks have a orunder body style and are smaller. hope this helps you with basic stuff.

I was wondering what the diffrence is between regular blazers and K5 blazers, not that K5s are better. I want to know the diffrences in body styles, interiors and, standard features etc.. and why k5s warrant their own website
[/ QUOTE ]
well now that we have the K5 ? out of the way..
body styles..
69-72 1st generation.
73-75 still full toppless second gen
76-91 half cab.
By all rights that is a K5 not an s-10 or somesuch.
The Cheyenne and Silverado packages are the ones with the options.
The reason the K5 warrants it's own website is it is the best freakin rig availible.

Good choice, My first rig was a 69 3/4 ton 2 wheeler with a 396. I was 15 and mowed lawns all summer long to get the $500 for it, my 1st score. /forums/images/graemlins/deal.gif
A K5 is a fine choice for a 1st rig. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

I fully agree with that, but isn't modifing the K5's (building them up) half the fun of owning one ???? /forums/images/graemlins/k5.gif /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif /forums/images/graemlins/k5.gif /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif /forums/images/graemlins/k5.gif /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif /forums/images/graemlins/k5.gif /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif
Quite honestly I get as much out of wrenching on my truck as I do wheeling it. Having it torn apart for the 47th time is the fun! /forums/images/graemlins/eek.gif /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif
