Every era has its icon. For classic 4x4s, this is it. The 1988 Chevrolet K5 Blazer Silverado 4x4 represents one of the final evolutions of Chevrolet's C/K-based Blazer, a model that embodied the square-body era's rugged simplicity before SUVs shifted toward modern refinement. With just 2,996 original miles, this example stands among the most impressive survivors of its kind. It captures everything enthusiasts value about the square-body generation: bold styling, mechanical honesty, and a brawny character that's been engineered out of most modern SUVs
Originally sold through Ken J Chevrolet in New Kensington, Pennsylvania, this Silverado-trim Blazer wears a striking Black and Apple Red two-tone with Burgundy accent striping. The presentation is cohesive, straight, and beautifully preserved, showing factory-correct panel alignment and consistent depth across the finish. The paint retains a glossy reflection under showroom lighting, complemented by original brightwork, brushed aluminum trim, and signature Silverado badging. The factory Rally wheels with polished rings and chrome center caps complete the look, fitted with BFGoodrich All-Terrain tires that give the truck a confident, well-planted stance.
Power comes from the original 5.7-liter small-block V8, rated at 210 horsepower and 300 lb-ft of torque. It remains completely stock, equipped with its factory throttle-body injection system, original GM hoses, hardware, and air induction assembly. The engine bay is exceptionally clean and authentic, right down to overspray patterns and inspection markings that showcase its originality. Power is delivered through a factory TH700R4 4-speed automatic transmission and NP241 transfer case, feeding 10-bolt axles with 3.08 gears. The truck retains its factory power steering and power front disc brakes with rear drums, with all suspension and braking components remaining unrestored and true to original spec, preserving the authentic ride quality and drivability these trucks were known for.
Inside, the Blazer feels like a time capsule from 1988, complete with that unmistakable factory scent that can't be reproduced. The Burgundy Custom Deluxe cloth interior presents as virtually new, featuring factory bucket seats, a center console, and a matching rear bench that show no discernible wear. The deep-red carpet, color-keyed dash pad, and door panels are all original and perfectly preserved. Every switch, dial, and vent retains its crisp operation, from the factory AM/FM cassette stereo to the electronic rear-window controls. Every switch, dial, and vent retains its crisp operation, from the factory AM/FM cassette stereo to the electronic rear-window and power window controls. The air conditioning and interior electronics present and operate as expected. Even the GM-branded rubber floor mats, seatbelt buckles, and trim grain maintain their factory sheen.
Few vehicles from the 1980s have aged as gracefully as the square-body K5 Blazer. It represents the perfect blend of rugged design and timeless utility, wrapped in a style that has become instantly collectible. This example, with its ultra-low mileage and pristine presentation, stands at the top of the market for surviving GM 4x4s. It captures the craftsmanship and presence of a bygone era while remaining ready to be driven, shown, and admired on any stage.
