Where are the most common rust areas for a Suburban?

[doubleb's69]

I'm going to go look at a Suburban and was wondering where to look for rust. I'm new to the whole 60-66 era of Chevy/GMC's so any help would be awesome. Just curious as to where the most common areas are and how hard it is to get replacement panels. This would be a family cruiser for car shows and such so I don't really want a rust bucket.

Thanks for the help. It kinda makes me nervous becaus of the rarity of parts compared to what I'm used to dealing with. I.E. 67-72 pickups.

Rarity of parts = rare vehicle. When i tell people I am working on a 65 Sub some dont realize that Subs were even made back then. Then they are also puzzled about them only having 2 doors. If you have access to a good sheet metal worker then nothing should be an issue.
