rusty 1976 ford courier

I just bought a '76 courier from a real 'only drives to church on sundays' kinda guy, but it's still a little too rusty for comfort. I bought some fiberglass matting, epoxy and a grinder, but I wanna do this right! Just wondering what I can do about all of the undercarridge rust and how to prevent it from coming back?
--
also, two of the body mounts right under each door are almost rusted off, looks like they weld on, wondering if anyone knew where I could find some replacements or if I have to custom fab em.

thanks a lot

I had the same problem on my 82' S-10. I never did find anything to repair them. I can only suggest that you design something and get ahold of a good torch man. He/she should be able to fabricate just about anything you need. For the other rust, you may want to take it to a collision shop and have them bead blast all the rust off and the a rubberized undercoating applied. Good luck....
