The driveside front door on a 2001 S-10 Blazer has the bushings worn out to the point where when you try to close the door you can see that its about a 1/4 of an inch out of alinement. How big of a job is it to repair or replace the bushings or the hinge?

Take a hard look to see if it's just the bushings - probably is as they are just a bronze that is pressed in. The aftermarket ones are better than OE in my opionion and dirt cheap. In full size GM trucks, hinges are welded (not a smart move GM) so you can't adjust the door so easy! Replacement takes some funky tools to pound out old one and the hard part is having to support the whole door for removal and re-installation making sure not to chip the hell out of it.
The tools and a good helper they are doable,
