I'm more interested in repairing the huge missing chunks of paint and rust. I don't really care about the dents. I'm afraid if I let it go any longer that it's going to be too late. Any tips on what products to use to repaint or remove the rust. I thinking about using Duplicolor. BETTER yet sanding the entire truck and painting it Rustoleum Flat black. Thoughts? Tips?

Pour 15 rust stuff comes in black put it over rust and stops it dead in the tracks, or sand blast your whole truck and line-x or rino line it :D

I thought of that one too.. I was hoping someone may have had a write up or something... I've got some stuff that eats off the rust but I'm not sure how I should repair the paint. It's cracked and flaked completely to the enamel on both sides below the rear window. I will probably have to unbolt the bed and slide it back a few inches.. It's going to be a fun project...

I just dented my cab and painted it to stop rusting. I sanded the area a good 3-4" around the exposed area to insure that there was no rust under the surface. After the sanding was done I used an "ColorPlace Rust Control Spray Enamel" Then I got Dupli Color spray from salvos that matches my paint. Here are pictures of what it looks like now and in the next few weeks I will spray the green color on and wet sand the area smooth and buff.

Doesn't look bad at all. Do you remember what the part# was to the duplicolor? I've got the same color truck (Imperial Jade).. Thanks,

Here are the pictures with the color. It turned out well, you need to get close to tell that it was repainted. The only way that you can tell that it was painted is because of the texture. If I wet sand the area I think I can get it to look better but it is good enough for me.

IMO, I'd sand it down, prime it, and then take it down to Line-x and have the bed Line-x ed, then you'd never have to worry about it again. Just my 2 cents.
