The Thing that i noticed about the list was that only S-10 / S-15 Pickups and S-10 Blazers and S-15 Jimmys that came with the 4.3 liter engine qualify for program.

This means that any of these models that were factory equipped with a smaller size engine do not qualify.

According to the Govt. , the 2.8 liter engine in your Blazer, provides a higher mpg average and as such it is higher than the minimum.

I, myself, own a 1991 S-10, 2wd, short bed, 5 spd manual, 2.8 liter engine, it is the Durango model, from what i understand the Durango trim was offered for 2 years.

My truck has 240,000 miles on the clock, still runs very well, the truck averages 27 mpg @ 55 mph and 25 mpg @ 65 mph .

My S-10 averages a higher average mpg than the minimum, so it does not qualify for the program.

The Cars.gov site says:

"Your trade-in vehicle must have been manufactured less than 25 years before the date you trade it in"

So it does look like you missed the date cut-off. Keep watching the link though, since the final rules haven't been written.

Official rules were released today on www.cars.gov. They are holding firm to the manufacture date requirement. Your Blazer was manufactured more than 25 years ago (barely!), but unfortunately will not be eligible for the program.
