Chevrolet Blazer (K5): the collection page for the pickup-based off-roader with removable hardtop, K5 four-wheel-drive code, V8 engines from 121 to 142 kW
The Chevrolet K5 Blazer, built from 1969, was General Motors' answer to early off-roaders such as the Ford Bronco and shared its ladder frame with the C/K pickup line. The K5 code denotes the four-wheel-drive version in GM's size classification; early generations carried a fully removable soft top or hardtop over the entire passenger cell. Silverado marked the upper trim line, Van a closed body variant without rear side glazing; internal GM codes such as CK10516 denote the body and drivetrain combination.

The register lists 18 versions here with 121 to 142 kW from exclusively eight-cylinder engines of 4,300 to 6,213 cm³ displacement, weights of 1,860 to 2,494 kg, gross vehicle weights of 2,223 to 3,405 kg and lengths of 4,640 to 4,800 mm.
The K5 Blazer positioned itself as a full-size off-roader with high towing capacity for agriculture, hunting and leisure use, competing with the Ford Bronco and Dodge Ramcharger, before the smaller second-generation Blazer took over the name in the 1990s.
On a used example, rust on the ladder frame, the sills and, on hardtop versions, the seals and latches of the removable roof are decisive; also check the transfer case and leaf-spring condition, the function of the carburettor or early fuel injection, and, given the vehicle's weight, the brakes carefully.
