Default Frame rot issue

Hi,

Well i am an auto body tech by trade(not by practice) and well quite frankly i know what to do in this situation but im wondering if its worth it.

I have a 96 Ram 1500 with a 360, short ram intake performance module, dual dynomax exhaust and other goodies

so i have put plenty of blood sweat and tears into my truck.. not to mention a strong chunk of change


the truck only has 54500 miles on it (your not seeign things.. 54k) and due to the fact it sat a lot it has a decent amount of rot on the frme, most of it looks like surface rust, no real rot holes but its getting bad fast.

so i ask, is it worth the effort for me to go through and sand the entire frame and undercoat it... or should i just run my baby into the ground and get what i can out of her... any thoughts?

it's your truck, can you afford the gas to keep it until it wears out? you can sand it and coat it with Por15 to stop the rust.
