Early Years (1969-1972)\n\n The Blazer was originally a short wheelbase truck that went into production in 1969. It had four engine options and three transmission options, with a wheelbase around 104 inches. The shortened pickup design allowed for more interior space, yet it also made the Blazer more affordable.
Introduced to the Chevrolet line for the 1969 model year, the K5 Blazer was replaced for 1995 by the Chevrolet Tahoe. The third generation was simply called "Chevrolet Blazer", without the K5 name.
