"Rustnolium" (hehe) should work fine.

Those have got to be the littlest tires I've ever seen on a truck that high.

i've fully painted my frame 3 times,,,, and what worked the best was the "Rustolium" heavy duty rust primer then a few coats of the rustolium paint........... also a good wire brush on a drill and you sould be good
