Hello and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
I have a 1992 Blazer 4.3 TB.
I lent it to my mom while her car was in the shop.
The temp here droped to about 3 degrees a couple
days before I got it back.
When I started it up it started fine and ran fine.
On the way home it started to miss.
While backing into my drive, it stalled 3 times.
When I finally got it parked there was water coming
out of the passenger side of the engine.
My question is this: Are there freeze plugs on both sides of
the block? Is it hard to get to them?
Thanks in advance.

Yes there are plugs on both sides, although it's pretty uncommon for them to leak on a fairly late model. Have to crawl under there and take a close look to be sure where the leak is.

I sure hope that the frost plugs are easier to change on the 4.3L than on the 2.8L
did you test your coolant level lately?
I sure hope that you didn't crack the block, or something with a iced up motor.
Good luck, and a happy new year back at you
