Default Which should i get a blazer or bravada

okay i am looking at 2 vehicles a 1995 Blazer and a 1992 Bravada
and i am not sure which to get
they both need the transmissions rebuilt and that's about all they need to get running good and they are both $750

the Bravada has:
a clean interior,
not much rust but needs paint

the Blazer has:
a not so clean but can be cleaned interior,
has a little body work needed
and needs some exhaust work

any and all input would be great

Personally I would take the Bravada. Does it have the Vortec engine? The '95 was probably one of the ones caught betwen obd I and obd II so reading codes and repairs can get interesting. How many miles do they have?

Well, IMO I'd go with the 96. It only has 10,000 more miles on the clock and currently need no major repairs. Also, the 96 is OBDII for sure so codes will be easier to read.

I definately agree, go with the 96, way better deal and from the sounds of it probably better optioned than either of the other 2.

Bravadas have nicer interiors, plus i was told they come factory with a 3:73 rear end. Maybe someone can confirm that for me.
