Inspirational 2WD Blazer Picture Thread - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

there were only k5 badges on blazers but if you were to decode the vin the 2 wheel drives were c series and the 4 wheel drives k series. The c and k actually define the chassis type 2 or 4 wheel drive and the 10, 20 and 30 come from the series 1 = 1/2 ton 2 = 3/4 ton and 3 = 1 ton. I'm not really sure where chevy came up with the 5 in k5

Ya you got me on that, GM did some things I do not under stand.

And that pic is my blazer back in 1985 and yes it is 2wd in that pic. My dad order it from GM in 1978. That wild to see it like that..

Here is my 82, As of now the original 305 is pulled out and sitting in my shop. I don't know which way I am going to go with it yet, leaning towards a ZZ4 create motor. I already swapped the front end to a 91 style and put on some new shoes. Future plans for the suspension are 2 1/2 spindles and a rear shackle. Thats if I don't decide to sell it first, I have a Camaro project that I need to get to also.

Yes it is, that is what we went camping in and took to the lake in. So it has a lot of good history with us.

Thanks Ken for letting us know that, find new things out every day..
