The second generation Blazers have very many parts in common. However, it is good not to assume this is always true.
What I do when I want to check rhe fitment of a part is to use one of the General Motors parts retailers to see if a specific part will fit my vehicle.
I prefer sites like this one that allows you to enter the year, model information, etc., or the VIN of your vehicle: https://www.gmpartsdirect.com/
Then with my vehicle information supplied to the website, I search for the part number of the part I suspect might fit my Blazer. When the part is found, the page for the part will have a message indicating whether or not it will fit.
You still might have to consult the VIN and RPO code sticker that is located on the inside panel of the glove bix door to confirm fitment.
I hope this helps.

Dear Christine,
Thank you for the fast and kind reply! Also for your service!!!
Then, I already did all this you mentoned but regardless thanks again. You all have a nice New Years Eve and a fault free prosperous new year!!
otw my VIN is legit but from South America and a totally different system, even this VIN decoder says it is illegal number. But as mentioned I could do it for 20 Euros by carfax so that is clear.
GMparts I chated yesterday and sent me to local Chevrloet dealership. For the record: in Europe they know nothing from a 25 years old Chevy which was made in the Venezuelan factory of GM. They have mentioned to me it is discountined. Even my European smart..ss knew this but of course I am greatful and manage somehow. Just in Facebook S10 or other forums do not like questions. Now that we live in Europe and this is a classic or more than 20. years old Chevy it is more difficult. Plus WHO ships here?? But I will not give up. So again thanks for the positive attitude. This Forum kicks a... so nice people. Heartbreak of America is still winning!! So will we in the end. Also the link you shared, thanks for that is golden!!
