Very clean original 1992 Chevrolet K15 2 door blazer or tahoe 2 door 4x4 4 wheel drive.
This fantastic collector truck is an appreciating asset along with a fun toy or even a daily driver. These trucks have tight turn radius, are relatively compact for having full size 1500 truck chassis, are very accessible, and are pretty rare. They will go places a regular z71 can’t. But can tow or haul pretty much like a full size truck.
This one is a 1992, and has a much better interior and engine than the later models. The interior is simpler, roomier, easier to access for maintenance, and in my opinion looks much better than the 1994 or later trucks. The engine is a 350 5.7 liter Chevrolet v8, without the cam problems and ignition problems found commonly on the 1996 and later trucks.
It has a modern serpentine belt system and simple throttle body fuel injection system for the ultimate in simplicity and reliability, without all the vacuum hoses and rats nest wiring of the earlier trucks.
It has a 700R4 automatic 4 speed overdrive transmission with heavy duty factory transfer case and positrack differential. Again, the ultimate in simplicity, durability, longevity, and cheap, available repairs.
Modern power disc brakes. Shift on the fly 4 wheel drive, power locks and windows, all work perfectly. The AC Worked perfectly but seems to have a small leak as I had to refill it after about 3 months. The only other thing I am aware of that do not work are the rear hatch lift shocks are not there, and the radio is not hooked up. Class III 2 inch trailer hitch receiver.
This truck is painted its original Black with a very clean all original red interior. This is a great color combination. Everything works great, drives great, in great shape. No rips, tears, nothing. Very good condition.
The truck does have a new hood and rear hatch due to hail damage, and some hail damage on the roof (which you really don’t see as the truck is taller than me. The windshield was not cracked or replaced, it is fine and appears to be original.
As a result of the hail repairs, this truck was apparently fully insured and therefore now has a salvage title - the insurer totaled it and auctioned it rather than repair the hail damage. Their loss, our gain, it’s a very nice truck. Mileage is exempt. I presume it has a lot of miles but when you see this truck, you know it is all original and in VERY good unrestored condition mechanically and aesthetically. No replaced interior parts. No hacked wires. There are no issues here. I have new trucks, and I enjoy driving this more. It’s a true classic 4x4, and these are in high demand. These have recently sold on ebay for up to $24,000 and you can get this one for a fraction of that price.
The paint is not great, but there is no rust or major dents or issues, just a few scuffs here and there.
I looked very closely and there are no signs of any significant damage, wrecks, or repairs in its history.
I just put a new battery in it, and it has new plugs and wires. Runs great.

Other than AC, I would and have driven this truck anywhere and everywhere. It runs and looks fantastic.
