    Can you all help me I just bought the truck and decided to tear the interior apart and discovered that the cab floor where all the trucks rust, I have a little surface rust thank god. But what can I do to fix it once I sand it down to prevent it.

    I would use POR-15 on it. Make sure you get all of it sanded down to bare metal, no rust left, clean, then paint with POR-15. best stuff to kill rust.

    An alternitave would be to use rustolium paint. Any of the colors will do, it works well, but POR-15 works better.

    Ive used both and they give good results.:waytogo:

    Rustoleum rust-converting primer works well. Just remove all the loose rust with a wire brush, wipe it down, and it turns everything that's left into primer.

    Do I need to sand the whole cab floor to bare metal or just the area with rust.

    You can just do the rust you see.
    I would paint all i could with it...it will help in the future.

    when i yanked my bed, I did the whole back end of my frame in it.
    all i did was scrub with a wire brush,pressure wash, let dry and paint.

    How much Por-15 do you think I need for the cab floor? Will 1 quart do? How many coats should I put down?

    Well, i did my frame with one quart,and had a little left over. but if your wanting to do more then your floor, i would get 2.

    but one should be enough for the floor.

    Most auto paint suppliers carry Por-15.Wear a long sleeve shirt( old one) & latex gloves as it does not come off once dry! And if you spray it use a resporator!!!:cool:
