Re: K/5 question
The K stands for 4wd. I believe the 5 is because it was smaller than a 1/2 ton truck which they designated as 10 (K10 = 1/2 ton 4wd, K20= 3/4 ton 4wd, K30=1 ton 4wd).
Most 2wd trucks got the preface "C". For some reason, they did not do that on the Blazer. Probably because the 2wd production numbers were so low.

Re: K/5 question
Thanks it was bugging me big time. I couldn't figure out the 5 part but it makes sense.

Re: K/5 question
I believe that it may be an abbreviation for KA105 which was the chassis designation for the Blazer. But truthfully it doesn't mean anything, it is just part of the model name.
