How about this...

Fuzzy,

I recommend taking a look at this stuff. I am planning on painting my entire truck with this stuff as I work on it for the next few years.

If you do a search through the FTE archives on this stuff, you are bound to find a lot of fellow F100 folks who have had good experience with it.

Good luck!

Go to any marine supply and buy some Ospho. Brush or spray it on, let dry and epoxy prime. The rust will be neutralized and stopped.

I would go to Home Depot and get a quart of Rustolem Damp Proof Red Primer. Only a few dollars and I like the fish oil it has in it for protection. Thats what I did with my 51, it protected real well till I could get the floor finished.
