Usually the patch panel pieces they sell are the common areas for rust, as far as the back of the cab area, I have only seen them rust there on trucks that are extremely rusty. In your part of the world, I think rockers/floors/cab corners etc are pretty much standard procedure, but anything past that I would consider a different cab.
