Hey guys just as the title says I live in Mass and the truck used to be a plow truck so as usual I've got some rust I undercoated the frame last winter and it seems to be holding up, I just had to get the rear quarters fixed for rot but there are other spots that need attention, are there and products or suggestions you may have. Sorry for the long explanation lol but thanks in advance!

 

I used spray on rocker panel coating to mine and have used it before on other trucks I've owned, works well and gets into tight spots behind panels and such. Wears a long time, is flat black so blends in underneath and cheap to touch up.

 

I just touched up some rust underneath the truck with some rustoleum primer and paint. Sanded it down and sprayed it. Im sure its better than nothing. But idk how well itll hold up.
I might do some bed liner type stuff in other areas though

 

move to AZ

 

Where do you get that?

 

might want to get some Fluid Film.

 

A couple friends and I hose off the bottoms of the trucks then spray wd40 underneath. Usually a couple coats. We get it in the gallon cans and whatever sprayer was on sale at harbor freight. Works pretty well and the bolts underneath don't seem to seize in.

 

Cool thanks for all the quick reply's I was thinking about sanding it and putting some rustoleum primer on there then undercoating on top

 

Used motor oil works good too and is less expensive. Respray every quarter. Don't park in the new driveway, keep it on the blacktop.

 

i just received eastwood products rust converter last week. im doing under my cab where the body mounts are welded on, all you do is wire brush the rust and paint on the rust converter. its only been a week but from what i read and talked to people abut this is the best way to go.

 

Really? That sounds like a good way to go, its not bad yet except the bed of course im going to look into that it, thanks scaler!

 

We have an outlet called Canadian Tire, but most outlets that sell auto parts, DIY boxliners sell it as well.

 

Best bet is to clean the underside and apply one of the rust bonding epoxies. My fleet is done in POR-15 on paintable surfaces with Fluid Film applied on fittings, pins, pans, etc.

I have heard that FTE members get a discount on Fluid Film from a certain online vendor with a familiar name.

See Fluid Film® | Corrosion Preventative, Lubricant and Rust Inhibitor for more info

 

Scaler how long did you have to wait for the rust converter to dry? also do you have to top coat it with anything special? i watched the video from their website and i wasnt sure if you have to use all of their stuff they say to.

 

Paint grease mixed with diff oil (just enough diff oil to make it paint-able) and don't apply on any plastics/rubbers.
