Rust in the rockers is no biggie. Where you need to look is the rear seat floor pan corners and the tailgate mounting brace. That's where they all blow out. The rot around the bottom of the B pillars comes from the pinch weld above the door where the rain gutter/drip rail is. Nobody looks up there, including the factory. It needs seam sealer to keep the water out. This is a unique Blazer issue since pickups have a screw on drip rail.

I had one of these. Put some lockers in it, 37's, geared it down, and played on the back roads camping until it literally died.
