2006 F-250 undercarige rusted, drive shaft Need help

So today I looked underneath my truck and there's tons of rust, drive shaft is completely rusted, differential, front bottom engine bay. I need the under carrige recoated. Does anyone know shops in Bay area, ca? When I bought the car it was always in the Ca. First oe probably took it in the snow.

This is a very common observation across the entire F-Series line-up. The surface rust acts like a patina. You will see body panels rust out/through long before any structural damage would happen to the frame or drivetrain. If you do some searching here & elsewhere, you will find tons of threads regarding this "issue."

Fluid film! I coat the under-carriage of all of mine each year. If you're not in the road salt much you probably could get away with doing it less often.
