I used a long piece of old trans cooler line, attached it to my blow gun via a rubber hose, and about 40 psi I cleaned out approx 20 lbs of sand, silt, crap, etc from my frame rails on my 74 Monaco Police car during the resto......and ran / sprayed primer and paint in as best I could ...the trans line worked great, using the end to scrape away at the inside corners and get the packed silt...but do it outside  trust me

mbmopar: That's a great idea, thanks!  A nearby bodyshop uses a product called "wax-oil". It is sort of like the spray foam stuff used for sealing drafty windows and walls in your house. They put an extension tube on the wax-oil can and use it to fill the rocker panels and door bottoms. Sorry I don't have pics, perhaps someone else does?

While I haven't tried it, Eastwood now has a product for treating the inside of frame rails. Worth a try?  Eastwood

No, we were reffering to this one quoted above.
I would never put some kind of foamy element inside the rockers!!! I bet it would make things worse!!!

I cleaned mine the best I could with compresed air and a shop vac. If there was surface rust I hit it with the spray stuff that turns the rust black (I think its phoshporic acid, but don't quote me, I got the semi-cheap version from NAPA), then I stuck the nozzle of the spray gun in there and put paint in there like crazy. It was messy, but in the end it is probably the best thing I could do. I am sure it is better then the factory, and that held up for 41 years, so considering how little weather it sees, probably good.
Its not primer its perma gray.

Fluid film is a wax oil and it's pretty runny, not foamy?? I think cosmoline is also a wax oil??? Those two are great for inside panels, rails etc...

You are probably thinking of this product Wayoyl (note spelling). The product is better than the website! It has been used over here in the UK for decades and works pretty well - it is exactly designed for getting in hard to reach cavities etc and preventing rust. I'm sure it must either be available in the US or something similar.

Doing a quickie google search, I came up with these guys that apply waxoyl or sell it for the DYI'er.
Robinson Service
How difficult is it to apply this stuff?
Not difficult - it is pretty much solid at room temeprature (but you could squish it in your hand easily). If you heat it up it gets real runny and then is easily applied inside sills etc with a sprayer. The ones you buy are basically like a trigger sprayer with a tube on with holes in it. It would be easy enough to make an applicator.
Only thing is - that link you posted seems to be charging over $200 for a 5L can - over here you can get a 5L can for less than $50. That seems excessive to me
