Re: What to do about this rust?
What part of the US are you in?
What is your goal with the truck?

Re: What to do about this rust?
Northeast OK, near Tulsa. The plan with the truck is to do a frame off "restoration". I want to keep a semi old school look, all the emblems\trim\chrome but lower it a little and put some nice wheels\tires on it. For the inside, I want it to look original ish...

Sandblast it, epoxy prime, skim coat it, sand it down smooth, and then prime/seal/paint like normal.

Wire brushing sort of polishes the rust and makes it look like its gone. Sand it and you'll most likely find its still there.

Re: What to do about this rust?
Sandblasting sheet metal can cause warping, I have been told "crushed glass" is the way to go.

Re: What to do about this rust?
Get some epoxy primer on those bare spots or they too will start to rust.
Bare metal needs epoxy primer. Not self etching primer or DTM (Direct to Metal) type products...only epoxy. Doesn't matter which one, they are all the same for corrosion prevention.
