Surface rust inside bed state pockets?

[yolner]

Does anyone have any thoughts on the best way to deal with it? Can't reach in there to scrub it out but painting over it seems like a waste of time too since it'll just come back up again.

You mite try one of the rust converter type paint/coatings.

Sandblast and/or phosphoric acid followed by rinsing and paint.

or similar works well for small jobs.

Tape a brush to a stick and ospho it, then flush and paint.

Drive into a sandblasting company and ask the HOW MUCH to "attempt" to clean the insides. Easy.

I would trying a wire brush on a stick fastened by screws followed by sand paper nailed to a stick.Sand blasting in a blind hole would be a adventure in my opinion. Try foam brushes or painter's pads for phosphoric treatment or paint. Spray paint will never cover that far down in a tube. Mark Sergent
