project vehicle: swb truck vs. Blazer

[Jonboy]

the biggest problem you will run into is that you will become addicted to them, and start looking at every Blazer you see. It will start with the 4WD, then you will have to get a 2WD to go with it, and pretty soon you will have a bunch of them. That's been my experience, your mileage may vary.

On the brighter side, Rust proofing got a lot better as the years went by. The 88 you are looking at should be relatively rust free, compared to anything before 80. It will have TBI, and the nicer interior as well. I would drive it, and see what you think. They are addictive, though.
