por15 is good, but I like eastwoods "rust encapsulator" better(they have silver, red,clear, or black). epoxy works best for frames if you decide to sand blast.

You may also want to check into chassis saver by magnet paints. this stuff works great. you can get in silver, gloss black, and satin black. The stuff is like powder coat when dry. they claim there product is best like all of them, but I have used on my frame and have been impressed.

there's also rust bullet, who also claim to be the best

. They have lots of info on their site though and it looks good, but I've never tried it.

I used POR15 and their chassis coat on my 70 crewcab frame and it came out nice, holds up and shines up good when I clean it. I'd recommend it to anyone, I'm sure all of them have their ups and downs. Anything is better than rust. I also used their engine enamel and it holds up well also, even on the heads.
