The old truck is already over 50 years old, you could clean up the rust. Neutralize it and use some Herculiner or POR15. Ive used the herculiner but not the POR. The liner is very tough.

I agree, herculiner or POR15. I have never worked with herculiner myself, but i know some that have and love it.

wire brush it and find a product called rustmort it reacts to the rust and turns into a flat primer then aply what you like or just run it do not spray it brush it it is heavy acid based and a fillter will not stop it you will damage your lungs but it works awsome

Check O'Rielly, Pep Boys or Auto Zone. In the paint department there is a can of brush on or spray the treat's the metal, turns to primer black and protects the metal. I used it under the hood of Ol Blue and it still is holding after 7 years. And no friggen garage.
