Default Looking for advice on buying

I am currently looking at buying an 88 full size blazer. I was wondering if you guys had any tips, warnings, etc. specific to blazers (any common problems and the like), that I should look for before buying the vehicle. Thanks!

First thing is rust; rocker panels inner and outer, over the fender wells, inner fender skirts, rear cargo area floor panel.
Check for excessive slack in the transfer case and drive line. Worn ball joints and tie rods.
Can't think of anything else at the moment.
I can supply links to companys in the US and Canada for replacement panels if you need them.
