	Blazers and Jimmys got new horizontally-slatted grilles in 1983, and the parking lights were moved from the bumper up beside the headlights. Upper models still had stacked quad rectangular headlights while lesser models still had dual rectangular units. 1984s were pretty much identical to the '83s, but '85 models got another new grille that got a body-colored horizontal divider on upper-level Blazers. The 250 and 292 I6 engine options were dropped, replaced by a new 4.3L (262 cid) V6, which was basically a 350 V8 with 2 cylinders lopped off. No changes in 1986; 1987 models got throttle body fuel injection (TBI) for both the 305 and 350 V8's. Despite now being 15 model years old, Blazers and Jimmys continued to be strong sellers for GM, and sales managed to hold their own against the [[Ford Bronco]] and [[Dodge Ramcharger]] competition (and even against the smaller S10 Blazer/S15 Jimmy).

It also inherited the C/K1500's 4-spoke steering wheel in the fancier trim level, and gained rear anti-lock brakes (which operated in two wheel drive mode only). 1990 models had no appreciable changes, and there weren't ~~any~~ to speak of for 1991 either, its final year in this iteration.

	1981 Blazers and Jimmys got a minor front end restyle this year with a new nose, fenders and hood. Front grilles were changed for a second time in as many years, and upper-level Blazers and Jimmys could have stacked quad headlights. Parking lights were relocated to the bumper, and front side marker lights were now horizontal instead of vertical. Rear end styling, however, would stay the same as before. 305 and 350 gas engined models gained GM's all-new "electronic spark control", and 4-speed automatics became available on those engines. The biggest change for 1982 would be an all-new optional 6.2L (379 cid) diesel V8. This replaced the suicidal diesel 350, and was designed specifically for GM's truck line (the C/K pickups and [[Chevrolet Suburban\|Suburban]]s naturally got this engine also). This year, Chevy built Blazers specifically for the U.S military forces, a testament to the Blazer's strength and longevity and ability to stand up to years of G.I. abuse. These were 4-wheel drive, minimally equipped and had either the gas 350 or diesel 6.2 V8, and would be sold thru 1987. While most have made their way to scrap yards or civilian hands, a handful are still in use by the military. Lesser Blazers and Jimmys continued, and drivetrain choices remained the 250 and 292 I6, 305 and 350 V8 and the diesel 6.2 V8. 4-speed manual transmissions were available on all but the diesel. 3-speed automatics were available on the I6s and mandatory on the diesel, the 305 and 350s had 4-speed automatics.		1981 Blazers and Jimmys got a minor front end restyle this year with a new nose, fenders and hood.

	1974 models barely changed at all other than the 307 V8 being dropped, but their competition grew as [[Chrysler]] got into the game this year with the new [[Dodge Ramcharger]] and [[Plymouth Trailduster]], which were based on the full size D150/W150 pickups like the Blazer was based on the C/K10 pickups. 1975 models got new grilles and a larger optional 6.6L (400 cid) small-block V8. Some would also get a catalytic converter, mandating the use of unleaded gasoline. 1976s were pretty much identical but no longer had their engine displacement announced on the grille, but a big difference was that the whole roof was no longer removable - the roof only was removable from aft of the doors (some referred to this as a ''half-cab'' design), leaving the front cockpit completely covered. A smaller 5.0L (305 cid) V8 debuted that year. Changes in 1977 were nil, 1978s got another new grille, and power windows and locks became available for the first time. [[Ford]] introduced an all-new full-size [[Ford Bronco\|Bronco]] this year that was now based on the full size [[Ford F-150\|F-150]] pickup, giving the Blazer and Jimmy some heady new competition. By 1979, all Blazers and Jimmys had catalytic converters but were otherwise largely unchanged from 1978. Both got a new grille in 1980, which included new rectangular headlights. Dashboard gauge graphics were revised and updated and all speedometers now read to 85 MPH. An unfortunate new engine option this year was the wretched [[Oldsmobile]]-built 350 diesel V8.		1974 models barely changed at all other than the 307 V8 being dropped, but their competition grew as [[Chrysler]] got into the game this year with the new [[Dodge Ramcharger]] and [[Plymouth Trailduster]], which were based on the full size D150/W150 pickups like the Blazer was based on the C/K10 pickups. 1975 models got new grilles and a larger optional 6.6L (400 cid) small-block V8.

	Blazers and Jimmys got new horizontally-slatted grilles in 1983, and the parking lights were moved from the bumper up beside the headlights. Upper models still had stacked quad rectangular headlights while lesser models still had dual rectangular units. 1984s were pretty much identical to the '83s, but '85 models got another new grille that got a body-colored horizontal divider on upper-level Blazers. The 250 and 292 I6 were both replaced with an all-new 4.3L (262 cid) V6. No changes in 1986, 1987 models got fuel injection (TBI) for the 350 V8. Despite now being 15 model years old, Blazers and Jimmys continued to be strong sellers for GM, and sales managed to hold their own against the [[Ford Bronco]] and [[Dodge Ramcharger]] competition (and even against the smaller S10 Blazer/S15 Jimmy).
