I made custom skid plates for it and made a winch carrier front bumper. The body was pretty trashed but it was one heck of an off roader. It ate rear universal joints, but I carried spares and could change em in 5 minutes or less. I really miss it. This brought back good memories.

Sweet blazer

[@MrSpartanPaul]

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.
