My 1950 was rusted in the drivers floor, I also has to run a ground directly to the front directional socket to get them to work properly, must have been just enough rust/corrosion around grill and body to inhibit the ground.

You pretty much named them all with the exception of all the floor panels.
Depends also what climate it resided in.

Check the front edge of the hood. They commonly rust there also.
