I'd stay away from that one...and I grew up in Wisconsin. I know you can do better than that.

I bought my 89 1500 4x4 for 350 bucks, and it is in much better shape then that, running 350, I put the new 700r4 out of my blazer, and all is well. I'd pass that one up. I thought my cab coners were a little rusty, I think I got a good one, they all seem to rust out in those spots badly.
You know, cab corners won't rust out if you just stick a hose up in them every couple weeks during the winter and let it flow until clean water runs out.
However it seems like there's about 10 people in the salt belt, me included, who ever do that.

that thing has more rust then my 30+ year old blazer!!
Welcome to the great salt belt. Don't ever come here.
I've seen 99-06 style GM fullsizes with rusty cab corners and rocker rust.
It's totally normal for 94-01 Dodge fullsizes to have holes in the doors and bumpers that are more rust than anything else.

good choice
Don't move to Kommiefornia. High taxes, crazy politicians, and bad gun control laws. Was stationed there for 4 years and left ASAP the day I got out.
If fate ever goes my way and my wife EVER finishes school we'll head to the southwest...IF I can convince her. Arizona has been called "SoCal without all the fruits and nuts."

I got family out in Palm Springs California. Hell that where my Blazer Came from.
Been to Palm Springs...no different than the rest of SoCal to me. Bad laws, bad politicians, and high taxes.

A little OT here, but AZ is quickly turning into East California. Sort of how Florida has become South New York/ Jersey. The amount of population growth in AZ is absolutely astounding to me.
Worse than that is how quickly the trails are being closed throughout the west. Everybody wants to wheel, and the majority don't take the time to learn how to wheel properly and tread lightly. It's not going to be long until there isn't anywhere left to go. The rotten apples have ruined it for the rest of us, and soon it's going to be too late to do anything about it. It's definately not the wild west anymore.
But, at least there's no rust. There is a house on every block with a clean classic Chevy in the driveway. Get ready for emissions testing your rig though...

Doesnt bother me all i have to do is hook up the AIR pump again and i am emissions legal
California is popular to slam...always has been.
I grew up in the midwest (Wisconsin), went to school in Missouri, lived in SoCal for 6 years, and now live near DC (temporarily). I've traveled to countless places.
There's pros and cons to each place. Wisconsin has nice people and pretty country up north but bad taxes (worse than most other states), emissions testing near the population centers, freeze-your-balls-cold winters (although I prefer extreme cold to extreme hot), and no good jobs (opinion, not fact). Missouri has it's quirks, but is actually one of my favorite places. Inland SoCal has TONS to do, all kinds of terrain, lots of entertainment, and some wide open country - it's near the coast that life gets annoying. DC has lots of history, but bad weather, terrible traffic, and people are rude and unfriendly in my 3 months' experience.
BTW, the gun law thing for SoCal doesn't win an argument. There are MANY worse places with worse laws (New England, Illinois, Hawaii, etc.).

I will total agree with every thing you said for wisconsin
Yeah but I'm not moving to any of those anti-gun states.
Something about a state where you can LEGALLY walk around with a .45 on your hip appeals to me. It says, "we take your rights seriously."
