I had a 1984 K5 Blazer - it was awesome! I bought it at 200K from one of our sales managers who used it to commute over 100 mi/day, and the thing ran perfect (highway miles and 2.73 gears = no wear). The body and interior were immaculate. I re-geared it, put in a locker and drove it for a few years, then sold it to my ex-wife at 240K. She loved it and drove it for several more years - the last time I ran into her she and her husband still had it and were putting in a new engine and tranny - at about 300K.
What a great vehicle - it turned on a dime, would go anywhere offroad and was the size of a small apartment on the inside. We were rear-ended on the Bay Bridge once and it suffered a couple of dings in the bumper - that was it. The lady who hit me wasn't so lucky. Yeah, one of those would make a great urban escape vehicle.
