One more question!! what to look for?

I am looking at some first gen Blazers this weekend, and I am wondering what are some of the not so obvious problems to look for would be? or problem area's would be?

Looking forward to joining the group.
I have wanted one of these for years and the time is now!

Thanks for the help
Brent

Re: One more question!! what to look for?

Rust in the windshield frame, A-pillar, B-pillar, Rocker Boxes (structural support for when the top is off located under the truck between the rockers and the frame) and the C-pillar.

Also, if it is a 4wd, check the frame around the steering box. They can crack if it's been driven hard off road.

Since you're in the great white north, your probably going to want a hard top. There are two types, singe & double walls. Single walls have dome lights. Hatches are hard to come by, but minor damage can be repaired.

That's all I can think of now - it's late.
