Well no, not exactly. The GMC Jimmy 4x4 is a K/1500, the Chevy Blazer is a K/5. I know that the only difference was the trim level, grille, MSRP and 4 vs 2 headlights, but GMC didn't badge the Jimmy as a K/5, not even a ''K/750'' [which would be the mathematically correct designation if a K/10 = K/1500].
All that being said, I sometimes [perhaps sarcastically] refer to my own K/750 as "The Blazer", especially if talking to someone who wouldn't know the difference.
