This is not going to be what you want to read but.... if you have bubbles in the paint from rust .....you have rust (you know like a woman just being "a little" pregnant ).

Here in Vermont we oil undercoat our vehicles. Not the most "nature safe" method but it does work. If a vehicle is in the state as you described the oil undercoating will normally prevent the rust from spreading. All the body panels are drilled and oil is injected...quite a mess for a few days but well worth it.

Auto transmission fluid. I douse my cab corner with that stuff, it works great. Another good suggestion is keep it washed! I'm in Ohio and I wash mine once a week to get the road salt off of it! And keeping a coat of wax on the problem area is a good idea, too. Good luck with your project!!
