I am so lucky to be second owner of this truck, it has always been in bama never seen snow or salt. I have no rust anywhere under the truck. Dirty but no rust.

Mine hasn't seen salt either, it's an ex-Florida truck. The frame was damaged by Hellwigs u-bolt. The ubolt rusted only after 3 months of being on the truck. It caused the frame to bubble and rust. Hellwig sent me new powder-coated u-bolts under warranty. I am going to Por15 the entire frame.

Cool, something you never think about but parts sometimes do not have a good coating and can rust. I have always hit new stuff like that with some rustoleum paint just for good measure. Brackets and stuff like that usually have crappy coating.

Not that I know of. You could get a new frame for about 3 grand if you really wanted to, from Nissan.
