85 original configuration wasn't the best thing, I would not pay that kind of money for it
The engine induction system would be the first to go.

Should I buy this Blazer?

So I officially decided on the red one from Dallas that I posted on this thread a few weeks ago (See profile picture). I just got it home from Dallas the other day. Made the trip up here with no problems (about a 3 hour drive) doing highway speeds most of the time. After factoring in all your advice (thanks so much by the way) I made the effort to get down to Dallas and test drive the truck last a week or so ago and really enjoyed it. Then went back last weekend and picked it up. It checks the boxes for everything I'm looking for out of the gate. And I got my first compliment on it literally 10 minutes after I drove it out of the sellers driveway and stopped at a gas station for some road snacks. I'm excited to have my new truck and officially own my first Blazer. As you can probably see, I have officially signed up for the premium membership. I am really looking forward to being a part of this community moving forward. I really appreciate all the advice you guys gave. It really helped me in making my decision and I couldn't be happier with this truck! Can't wait to start getting to know it and making it my own!

Congrats and welcome to the brotherhood. 
And if you don’t mind me asking, were you able to talk him down from the $19k asking price?

No. He was pretty firm up front about the price. But after looking at some others that are in similar condition as this one was, I felt comfortable with the price.Congrats and welcome to the brotherhood.

The MAW bug has already hit me a little bit with some Dakota Digital gauges I just ordered for it.... Got the spending blinders on right now while I have some money to spend on this...
I'll document and post my install job for the gauges. Hoping to work on it this weekend.
Welcome....

The only thing I would do is see tune the Carb for maximum fuel efficiency for your elevation/region
Drive it an enjoy it

Welcome and congrats, I bet Po was a fireman.
Good looking truck. Much nicer than the 1st example you asked about.

Nice rig!
It does fit. Might get that system for it eventually though.
