Door bottoms.
Another issue I see often, which is not due to rust, the drivers side door frame, by the hinge, usually upper hunge on the outside edge, the sheet metal tends to crack.

Right Front inner and outer fenders rot (battery acid)
Battery Tray rot
Step Side steps may crack. Happens if the bed is rotted out and all the weight then gets carried by the steps.
