The first thing I clean on an old truck are the drain holes at the front corners of the bed.
Second is to remove the inner door panels and vacuum the inside if the door, then clear the weep holes at the bottom of the doors. This is critical to longevity of these trucks.
Third is to remove the cowl panel and vacuum it and down the A pillar as far as possible, again to insure the drain is clear.

If this was done to these truck once a year they would all be rust free.......not really, but they would be in a hell of a lot better shape.
