I just bought a rusty 85' w350 that needs fenders ,rockers and doors. The underside is scalely but no rot. Just looking for the quickest and easiest fix for this. Saw a friend using cheap rubber beaded bed liner. But that just covers it and doesn't last long and possibly makes it worse. Want no prep involved. Don't have a lift or rottisery to get under it. Thanks moparts

You will have to at the very least get the truck up on jackstands, get under there and clean the underside of the truck. With a truck you are lucky in that you can take the body off the frame and have good access to nicely clean up the frame and can turn over the body sections to get at them. Sorry that's the only real way to do it. You need to clean the rust off and the dirt off. Nothing's going to stick over dirt and loose rust.

Next is primer - Rustoleum red, Eastwood Rust Encapsulator or Rust Bullet. I have personally used Rustoleum and Eastwood with good results. Then a coat of SG black (Rustoleum or similar). Undercoat optional after the primer.

My 92 D250 is packing 273,000 miles and doesn't have a spot of rust on the body. It's been in Texas all it's life other than my road trips to 34 other states.

After fighting with rusted garbage for decades where I grew up in the eastern Canada (rust central) I will travel far and pay a premium for vehicles that have never seen a snowflake.
