Welcome from Ohio, most of the trucks on here are the 4.3 but I'm sure someone will chime in here soon.

Is it a K5 Blazer, (full size) or an S10 Blazer with a 350 dropped into it?

rot seems to be the number one issue. floors rot away, rear tailgates fall off, also the frames love to crack by the steering gear box. other then that just check out your u joints, front end parts brakes and the normal stuff
