Normally I’d suggest rubberized undercoating, POR15, bedliner, and I think that’s a better option for vehicles in snow free areas, but I’d worry about missing a spot and rust getting under there where you’re at. I think if you were willing to be really thorough about it, you could hit the bottom with a zinc chromate primer, and then use an undercoating method of your choice, and that would be your best bet. Otherwise, you know what the alternative is. At least it can’t rust in there.

I didn’t think square bodies had clear coat in 88, only gmt400 trucks.

So only thing is complete body overhaul im curious what does that do to the value of our square body's
Obviously if its a rust bucket u gave it new life and realy increased the value if u have one original good shape but paint job finaly goes just curious if the value increases with new paint job
