Are you talking about undercoating the whole underside of the truck or are you just going to do the frame. If you are just going to do the frame all i would do is sand it a little bit to get the rust off and scuff it up a little so the paint will stick better and then just spray it with a rattle can of gloss black paint

There is a pre-pump strainer to keep large particles from being sucked into the pump.
You can paint the frame, but since you are in the Northern part of the country, I suggest a rubberized undercoating. Its tougher and will not peel if theres intensifying rust under it.
Just clean it spotless removing the road grime and factory coating (if applicable), rough it up, use a rust converter to kill any rust, and then spray on the undercoating.

your local auto parts store should have a rust converter, its an areosol can, usually in the solvents isle. as far as rust removal, I use a 4 inch angle grinder with a flapper wheel. takes it down to bare metal pretty quick. as always be sure to use your protective gear. keep a good grip on that grinder too, i have a nasty scar on my arm from one getting away from me.

Aah, rent a sandblaster! You know you want to...
...on a more serious note, pre-mask any painted parts near your work, and the second you get it clean, get that paint/undercoat on fast. Don't give rust a chance to get a foothold.
