Undercarriage rust

[angies86c10]

I bought my 86 c-10 off of an owner who didnt really take very good care of the underneath and there's quite a bit of rust down there. whats the best way to take car of that? taking it to be blasted off was my first idea, dont know how much itd cost tho. ifd anyone knows approximate costs or other alternatives id be so appreciative\!!

Welcome from New Hampshaa Angela, Removing the bed and painting the frame with Chassis Saver will do wonders.

ohh ok. glad to be here from ontario ....so you're saying dont bother getting the rust off just painting overtop of it? Wouldnt it be better to get it off first? And what exactly is this chassis saver i always hear about?

I believe what he's saying is with the chassis saver you can usally scrap off the loose scally rust then
 just paint over it.

Well I should have gone into more detail. Needle scaling works the best to remove the lose rust. Chassis Saver is designed to paint over tightly adhered rust.

It is the same as POR 15. I have used both and they both work excellent.
