The Car Behind This Bag
1980 · 5.7L (350 cu in) V8 · Flint, Michigan · K5 chassis · the original American SUV
The K5 Blazer was the truck Chevrolet built when the company realized that some buyers wanted a full-size four-wheel-drive vehicle without the open bed of a pickup. Launched in 1969 as a removable-top body on the C/K platform, the K5 was effectively the original full-size American SUV — predating the Ford Bronco's full-size era and selling in volume to ranchers, hunters, and the kind of suburban family that wanted a vehicle that could pull a boat and survive winter on a gravel road.
1980 was the third year of the second-generation body — squarer, wider, with the legendary 350 V8 as the volume engine. The Blazer became the official vehicle of the late-1970s and early-1980s overland fantasy. Magnum P.I. drove an Island Hopper helicopter, but his neighbour drove a Blazer. The US military adopted a militarized variant — the M1009 CUCV — for staff transport in the early 1980s. Tom Selleck owned one personally.
Chevrolet built the K5 Blazer through 1991 before replacing it with the Tahoe. Total second-generation production passed 800,000 units. The original interiors — ribbed vinyl on workhorse trims, broadcloth or full leather on optioned cars — remain the cabin reference point for an entire generation of American body-on-frame trucks built before the SUV became a luxury category.
