Then next year you can do all the touch ups your self. Me and a buddy started doing it this way on ours trucks and it works out great, ends up being cheaper then doing it ourselves the first time.

Crappy Tire sells rust proofing products, but by the time you buy enough to undercoat your truck you will have spent more then it would've cost to have it done properly. Krown (atleast here in Sarnia) cost $150 to do a truck like mine (reg cab long box), and then next year I'll go buy a few touch up cans for about $20-30 and do it myself.

Oh and I'm not trying to sell any body on Krown thats just the product I use, if you have another product in your town go for it. And for proof that this works my Buddys dad had his 75 Gmc sierra rust proofed 30 years ago, and drove it in the winter for 15 years, touched it up ever year before winter. This year my buddy who now owns the truck decide to rebuild it and as we pulled the truck apart the was no rust anywhere on the truck, in fact the trans crossmember still has the factory paint on it.

if i get it done by a shop (i prob wont i hate ppl touching my stuff) i would use Oil Tech but i only need to do the cab as the Box,inners,and front fenders are going to be replaced in the spring any ways. I wonder if they would only do the cab?
