Major styling features consisted of curved side glass, doors that opened into the roof line, and the elimination of roof drip rails. Running along the belt line was a sculptured cove. Along with the very wide and flat load box, it gave the new model very clean and distinctive lines. A wider interior featured a powered, flow-through ventilation system. A redesigned dash, with all instruments and controls placed in a semi-circular cluster within easy reach and view of the driver, was adopted.

The steering wheel was reduced in diameter and the wheelbase was lengthed from 104 to 106.5. The 1973 Blazers had a full-time 4x4 system. Those with the Cheyenne trim had a chrome circle on the rear fender. The tailgate came two ways, with the open utility it was like the Fleetside Pickup's gate and when the optional hardtop was ordered, the gate had a manually-operated roll-up window, this eliminated the lift-gate that had been used in older tops. New energy absorbing steering column. The Blazer's single-unit body was joined to a heavy channel steel frame and had a completely removable fiberglass top.
