Frame rust...what to look for?

I know the '67-72 trucks have a spot they rust out in the rear suspension...but I'm not sure where that is. The '68 I picked up supposedly has a very clean frame & I want to make sure. Anyone got a picture so I know where to look?

Mine had hidden rust holes at the spot where it is sandwiched between the rear crossmember and the bracket that holds the ebrake cable. The whole rest of the frame had only the normal surface rust.
