The underside of the truck is in really good condition, so I don't want to have it coated with something that is going to cause me problems down the line.
As a side note, I don't plan on doing an awful lot of miles in it, but considering we are in the rust best, I want to do what I can to keep the truck in good condition.
Thanks for the help!

If you are looking for a paint type coating then POR 15 or similar. You might have to call a few shops to find a decent price.
If it was me, then I would do the wd40 treatment or fluid film. They work best with yearly applications, but I think they work better and coat more thoroughly than POR 15/paint products in tough to reach spots like the frame rails. It can be a bit messy to apply wd40/fluid film and try to avoid getting it on the exhaust as much as possible.
