^This. My pops does a lot of restorations on these old trucks and almost every cab has rust issues. Looks like you guys have fixed most of the problem spots.
Places to REALLY look at are around The drip rail, inner lip around the top windshield (where the rearview mirror mounts), outer lip around the entire windshield (Pay very special attention to the corners), and the pinch seam where the wires are usually placed on the firewall (where yours has the rust in the pictures above)
The cab corners, floor pans, inner and outer rockers, and the bottom of the rain tray/cowl panel are all common fixes. Once you move to the dog house, the passenger inner fender under the battery tray always rots out, and I have seen a growing number of rotted radiator supports on the same side under the battery tray. Bottoms of the fenders usually have some too.
