Rust Areas
 
Where are the rust areas to check for on a 96 bronco?

Aside from the typical suspension areas and the tailgate, any places that are easy to miss?

fender wells, rocker panel, muffler cover, muffler. door panels,
The paint peeled off the hood and now the hood is rusted, I just call the look "Patina, you can't buy that kind of look it has to be earned"

-Rear quarters above the rear wheels, and back near the bumper
-Inner rear wheel wells
-Bottom edge of tailgate
-Rear-most crossmember as mentioned
-Radiator support at the bottom where it bolts to the frame
-Bottom of B-pillars near rocker panels

my 96' rusted bad in the cowl area under the driver side wiper due to clogged cowl drain on the driver side.
