wow dont no what happened there anyway I have been on the site for a while now and restored and modified my 84swb c10. I have always loved 4wd blazers and I finally found one. Just wondering if blazers and trucks have the same bad areas for rot? or are there any other areas to look for? thanks marc P.S. I am officially addicted to square bodys lol

I've seen them go both spots as he said tailgate support were the tailgate bolts to the bed can be fixed easy with a piece of channel and the floor more time I see it at the step up for the rear seat

Same as a pickup on the front, and the rear floor pans like frogman68 said.

The Blazer I just got, had rust holes throughout the section where the removable top meets the cab.  I'm not sure if that's common, but that's what was rusty on the 2 blazers I've seen in my town.
