Also check where the rear shocks mount to the frame. My '74 was cracked on the passenger side and BTW-also cracked by steering box. Both not too hard to fix and aftermarket sells braces etc. for both areas. By '88 Chevy probably addressed the issue but good to check it anyway....
My son is also looking for a clean '80's Blazer. I'd love to know what you paid and need pictures when you figure it out-Thanks
