Interesting question--in my limited experience in having been involved in parting out some 8-10 Blazers/Jimmy's, the carpet stirps came in two forms--one like you show in your picture, and one in chrome that is folded and would sandwich in the rubber weather strip and is much heavier. This chrome strip is most common in the rear while the "door threshold" type strip as you picture tends to show up on the front of the carpet. I suspect that just like the other unique Blazer items--some mysteries will remain--: Some have radio speaker in the dash like trucks and some have smooth dash with speakers mounted under the dash~~~~Some have single wall and some have double wall tops~~~. I haven't been able to verify a distinct pattern as the CST high end optioned Blazers came both ways???? If you need pictures, let me know.
