WTD: 69-72 Blazer Buyer's Guide / Help

Okay, I have owned 10 71-72 trucks covering plain janes to loaded, 2wd to 4x4's, long and short. I have never owned a Blazer however, and find myself in need of one, now that I have two children. Does anyone have a good list of things to be aware of that are particular to Blazer's and Jimmy's? Any advice or help would be appreciated. I know all of the usual issues for trucks but which ones apply to Blazers? Anyone have a link or two for FAQ's?

Thanks.....
Duffy

Most important is the windshield frame, they rust out. Rocker boxes used to be an issue but now they are reproed. Cracked hatches are a problem but they are also now reproed although still expensive. Getting a solid hardtop would be a good idea because they aren't reproduced. So bascially check the normal areas that rust in trucks and check out the windsheild frame REAL good. The rest can be easily repaired. I don't know much about 4X4 running gear.
