I've noticed while poking around in JC Whitney and my local parts store catalogs the only thing they show is the S-10 Blazer. My understanding was the S-10 Blazer was '94 and older (the old, boxy body style), but maybe I am mistaken. I just bought an '03 2-door a little over a month ago and I'm still learning.

Thanks for any insight you can offer!

 

I believe that the last year for the fullsize Blazer was '94 and the fullsize GMC Jimmy's were dropped sometime before the Blazer. Since there was no longer a fullsize version, GM could drop the S-10 & S-15 variants off both the Chevy Blazer and GMC Jimmy. These trucks are still based off the S-10 platform.

 

Weird, the guy at the auto parts store is worried about selling me something marked under the S-10 Blazer because he's not positive that it's the same part....

 

96+ are no longer s-10's or dimes like they call them...your's is just a Blazer...maybe the catalog still names them s-10 as I've seen in some online catalogs...just be worried that you tell them it's an '03...happened to me before...

 

mine's and s-10 blazer...it's a 2000...well at least everything on it states s-10...swartlkk is the authority on all things cars...

 

Does it have badging that says S-10 Blazer? The pre-96 blazers actually had badges that said S-10 Blazer on the grill and I think on the rear gate.

 

so I actualy went outside....burrr!!!! 2 feet of snow!! and looked...and sure enough..nothing on it says s-10....well then how come it's the same body as the chevy s-10? and why when I ask for parts..I have to specify s-10?

 

The relationship between the s-10 blazer and the s-10 pickup didn't change at all. Just the removal of s-10/s-15 from the Blazer/Jimmy name. You need to specify s-10 because the software at the parts stores never really picked up on the change.

 

mystery solved!!! swartlkk you are my hero!!!! [sm=hail.gif](can I puke now?)

 

Same frames,engine,etc.Different body styles.
