Door repair

Hello all,
I bought some doors from a salvage yard and want to sand them down then primer them before i put them on my truck. There is only surface rust on them now. How should I go about doing this? I have NO experience doing any kind of body work. Will be doing it all in my driveway.
Any helpful tips would be greatly appreciated! The weather is getting warmer and I can't wait to start. I can post pictures of the doors if need be.

An air sander with 80 grit paper, if you have a decent compressor.
