When I removed the carpet for bed lining the interior. Both the driver and passenger footwells had a lot of rust.

Ive noticed that the heat/sound barrier seems to retain water pretty well. When i bedlined my interior that stuff was damp even though it didnt rain for over a week at the time.
but other than that, no rust what so ever on the body. i also paint the axles,muffler and coat the underbody with rustoleum rubberized coating to be safe

If I were you I would rip out the carpet and get some Line-X or bedliner in the tub. If not.... it may catch up to you.
