above is the major areas of concern on the 46-48's, the rockers you really need to get it on a lift to truly inspect them, all along where the running board bolts to the car and area that faces the frame!!! The tool tray area is an easy look from both inside the trunk and from under the back, another area to look is the very front of the rocker section right where the bottom inside of the front fenders meet the body, this is where road grime tented to settle and build up thus holding moister and eventual rust!!! From there, as others have mentioned good oil pressure, running good with no over heating, stops good......Good looking Merc and GOOD Luck.
