Why Under Coat/Rust Proof
All my past trucks I have done Ziebart under coating and rust proofing at the time of purchase. The local dealer has it done before delivery.
Now the undercoating I'm sold on especially here in the north east. However rust proofing is not worth it.
Dealer trying to sell it. With the new body it's a waste of money and will not benefit.

I bought some product (oil). I use corrosion free and I am going to oil under the truck myself a couple times a year. Decided to leave the body panels and focus on what will rust

The entire body and bed (including the "...bottom of the cab and bed...") of the truck is aluminum excepting the laminated Quiet Steel sound-absorbing firewall, the cross-door side impact beams, and a few small mounting components. The frame is a mix of various steel alloys and thicknesses. A body cross member (forward of the engine) is magnesium.
12/20/14 edit: last sentence corrected to delete reference to 'frame' cross member and correct 'aluminum' to magnesium.
