V-8 Sounds Great
I'm from Northern Wisconsin, and I can tell you all about the winter salt and car cancer. I've gone to using grease. I used (2) 5lb tubs of grease, put some gloves on, and smeared it all along the under carriage of the truck. I even reached up along the body panels (like the fenders and truck box) and spread it up there. The truck smelled horrible for about 2 weeks, but 2 years later, I have no rust. You just have to remember that if you need to work on anything, just get some engine cleaner, spray, and clean off the grease before you work on anything or you'll get real dirty in a hurry. The last vehicle I did this to was a 1999 Saab, and sold it in 2010 with zero rust. That car spent 100% of its life in the Wisconsin salt belt.
Oh, and did I mention cost... $20 total.

I will reiterate, Boiled Linseed Oil.
If it works on vehicles on that are constantly on the beach, it will work anywhere. It's cheap. It's environmentally neutral, it's easy, it doesn't stink.
Would recommended spraying it in any holes you find in the frames.
I put at least 20,000 miles on my Dodge on the beach, and at 160,000 miles, it had no worse than a little surface rust in a few spots on the undercarriage. For a Dodge that was a decade old, that's amazing.

Are you suggesting this for a treatment or prevention? I just purchased a '79 F150 and it has what appears a little surface rust throughout the underside. I would like to clean it up if possible. I like that this sounds environmentally friendly, but want to be clear on if it's a treatment or prevention. I need a treatment at this point. A buddy has recommended POR-15, but that's going to be a LOT of work to clean and expensive to do the entire underside. It's probably worth it but I want to make sure there isn't an alternative (new to vehicle restorations).

Boiled linseed oil.
I grew up on the coast, driving the beaches daily. This is what guys who regularly hit the beach do. But you a pump sprayer, park in the yard, or lay out newspapers in the driveway, and spray it on everything under your truck. Because of frequency on the beach, we all reapplied yearly. For everyday driving, you should get a few years out of an application.
You can get it at Home Depot.
