that is interesting to know about POR15. id still recommend getting rid of all rust and then applying. even if its just surface rust. thanks for that info.

To be fair, many of the areas in the suspension and frame cannot be properly cleaned to bare metal without sandblasting, which was not in the cards for me. Scuffing the painted areas, and lightly wire brushing the rusty areas (which was mostly on the welds), was good enough for me. But I'm in CA, I might feel differently if this was a Minnesota or Pennsylvania truck.
