Without replacing everything, I think the trick is to get everything down to bare metal (even the seam on the inside of the cab and in the wheel well) and then seal it with something like por-15 or epoxy primer. Even then it may come back after a few years.

I had intentions of fixing the quarter seams on mine 5 years ago and removed the rust and covered with por-15. Life got in the way and I didn't go any farther than that so no primer or paint...:-[ The por-15 looks pretty bad but no rust yet.

Good luck, don't forget to carry through on it
