Rust Issues.. anyone else in northeast?

[DizzyD]

I am testing a product I picked up at tractor Supply, I think it's called Rust Converter.
I tried it on other equipment and a day after application, rust is turned to a hard black finish that can be sanded and painted over. So I've sprayed it on a few sections under my truck along the frame and trans skid plate. Also along the seam that runs along the bottom, inside of the tailgate. So far all I see there is the hard, black finish.
WARNING: wear eye protection, this stuff really stings and smells pretty agressive too.
As far as Ziebart, in the past I've had areas along the frame start to develope small cracks after a few years. Perfect place to trap salty water.

I have the same problem my beds rusted so bad on the rails that mount it that the brackets for my gooseneck hitch are whats holding the bed on and the fenders starting to blister under the paint, Kinda sad at 100,000 miles 2002. I just ordered an aluminum flatbed

I'm interested in several products mentioned too. I bought my truck 2K F250 PSD w/ 190K miles @ 6 mos ago and it came out of Arizona. It has no rust at all.. well a little surface rust in the frame here and there. I live in Ohio so it is going to see salt fot the first time shortly. I am planning to get it undercoated or something before then.

What are the target spots for rust on this body style? How can I stop it or seal off an dirt trap etc to delay the rust?
EX:I had a 95 F250 and I know all of that body style rusts just above the rear wheel wells first due to the excellent engineered bracing under the body panel that holds dirt/moisture rusting from the inside out until you see it and it is to late. If I knew this in advance I could have sealed off this area w/ undercoating/ caulking or at least washed it out frequently.

I have to admit I haven't searched for this info I just thought of it ready this post.

This would be great info for the different body styles for a lot of Ford truck owners. After all I don't know anyone that likes to have a rust hole in their cab, bed, or mounting structure! I think most owners would like to do preventative measures to stop rust before it starts or gets "beyond the point of no return". If they had the info from other Ford Truck Owners to do it.

Please point me in the right direction if this info is already here someplace.

Thanks
