undercoating
Can someone recommend a brand and/or a place to go to buy a fairly inexpensive undercoating material. I have no idea what is the best type. My truck has spent itz whole life in Potter county PA which sees a lot of salt so the frame is getting really bad and I need to do something about it. Thanks for the help.

I don't think it will help for very long unless you can completely get rid of the rust that's already there. The undercoating will soon crack and peel with the rust. Then salt water creeps under of the remaining undercoating which holds it against the steel, creating a friendly environment for further corrosion.

There are all sorts of things that are supposed to stop rust but few do in the long run. You could wire brush or blast to get most of the flake off and then apply a conversion coating that's supposed to neutralize the rust. I still don't believe there is a cure but you may be able to put it in remission.
I haven't tried it myself but I know people who swear by this stuff:

You might also look to the salt water marine industry for tough, corrosion inhibiting coatings. They have been fighting this problem longer than the rest of us.
RUST NEVER SLEEPS!

go get that can of stuff pictured in an above post from wal-mart. i coated the inside of my aluminum john boat with it because it had a few pin-hole leaks and shes holding fine with the traffic it gets with five people walking on it and the aluminum flexing in the water. plus, its like 3 bucks a can or less.

I just washed my whole frame/axle/drive shafts and sprayed them with Rustoleum Bare Metal primer, which is supposed to stop rust then covered it with Rustoleum Flat Black Industrial enamel. I dont live where there is road salt, but its help up very very well except where I scraped it off... so that may be an option?
