First of all I know there is a Blazer sub-forum here somewhere but I can't semm to find it.

I found a 79 Blazer for $1,200, Runs good 4X works good 350/4sp. What can you guys tell me about these? I'm looking for a Cheap 4X4.

Moved to the correct forum for you.

i just bought a 78 blazer also a 350 4spd manual watch out for the underside mine has three body mounts on the driver side that have rusted through the floor and also have some floor pan rust but thats not bad the bad part is the body mounts and replacing with out screwing up the body alignment is tough
