Re: 1973 Blazer Build/Resto... Input please!

That rust is pretty common on these trucks in the central valley my 74 is exactly the same but my frame hadn't been fixed yet but was broken. I also have 75 with similar rust issues not quite as bad though. I think the rockers and floor pans get like that from normal off road use the drains get clogged and dirt packs up in rocker area my hood on 74 was the same and on the tailgate the top seal goes bad and dust settles at bottom of tailgate rotting it out
