what did you use for rust proofing/undercoating
I was wondering what most of you have used to help protect your trucks in the rust proofing department.I figured this would be a good time to do something while the truck is all apart the stuff the factory used looks like some kind of tar that dries real hard.Thanks 8bolt.

A nice coat of 10 W 30, 10 W 40 a little 15 W40...a touch of power steering fluid, and of course, tranny fluid too.

You better clean it like crazy to get it to work...there prep stuff is pretty much reqired for that kind of aplication.
I plan on the same thing one day ... with some undercoating over it to help get rid of the noise too. |

Since I have my cab off of the frame I'm going to have the underside spray with rhino liner.

Por makes a primer they call it tie coat which is a self etching primer for painting over por 15 much easier than and more reliable than scuffing the surface.

I don't like tar-based undercoating. It has good sound deadening qualities, but I don't think it sticks well. Over the last year, I've tried on inner fenders and underbody some Duplicolor Truck Bed Coating I found at a local NAPA for <&7. Net Wt. 16.5oz. It dries quick and leaves what looks like a thin version of professional bedcoatings. Textured, satin black color. Maybe other colors are available.
Maybe it's not the *right* product to use, but I like the way it sticks and looks.

I wouldn't use undercoating under the cab. I'm looking at a sound deadener product that Ziebart offers or Lizard Skin - www.coollizard.com

I have used this stuff also and it is good stuff as TEXAS 68 said. But I only put it under the fender wells.

Sandblast it, self-etching primer then squirt chassis black with hardener through a gun or Rustoleum 7777 satin black oil based enamel. Makes it smooth and easy to clean yet protects well and easy to touch-up.

mocwon, I think there's something to be said for just using a high solids paint/coating. Easier than undercoating to see if anything is between the paint and body that way. Rust repair would also be easier. If I ever start with a truck that has no undercoating or can be stripped, I'll probably do as you recommended.
