Its says K5 on the fender. I'll be mapquesting that city and maybe need to **** some cash. No Key is no biggie, $50 for Title 42 and I bet I can get the office lady in the impound yard to do my Title 42 for FREE. Just gotta figure out where to get the $250 and gas cash to pick it up.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the 2WD K5s have the same suspension setup as the 4WDs? I was thinking that's why the 'K' name was used for both. Kinda how you can get a Z71 pkg now on a 2WD. The Z71 is really an option pkg that includes some suspension parts in it.

The reason the K was used on 2wd blazer is because they made so little of them they did not see the point in changing it to c5

That would have to mean that the 2wd Blazers would be front leaf spring suspension, and that's not the case, so no it wouldn't have the same suspension. Z71 is just an off-road package on trucks which normally entailed, Blistein Shocks, Locking Rear Diff, Oversize or bigger Air cleaner, and aggressive floor mats for muddy boots etc. You can even get the Z71 package on the Colorado trucks in 2wd. Then the Z66 package is an On-Road package, it also includes the nicer floor mats and locking diff, and said to have self leveling shocks, but how well do those really work?
