The starting system is 24 volt as well as some communications wiring in the Blazers (M1009) and some pickups if it has a rack in the back or other configuration.

The rest of the vehicle is 12 volt.

They are really pretty much a Chevrolet Custom Deluxe K30 truck with a few specific options the military chose.

4.56 gears with a Detroit Locker in the 14 bolt rear, the Blazers have 3.08s with rear GovLocs. If you can find one with a NP205 Transfercase and the VIN begins 1GBHD vice GD then it will also hace a Trac Loc in the front Dana 60. Mostly found in the Contact Maintenance M1031s and a few Chassis Cabs that may have beds or other configurations.

To give you a clue on the paper work GL vs GSA, I won the Auction on my Crew Cab from GSA on 4 Oct at 5:30pm, I paid for it with a creditcard within the hour of winnng and I received the US Govt Certificate to Obtain a Title today in the mail on 7 Oct.

Depending where you are there a lot on there right now of Blazers and Pickups, some with red or yellow repaints from Rural Fire Dept use.
