Unless you are doing a body off, I'm inclined to think it is better left on there. It seemed I spent forever on my cab bottom and frame after I separated them. Can't imagine being on my back under there scraping. Anyway, my truck had caked on mud from 50 years on the farm. Under the caked mud was the dealer installed tar undercoat in pristine shape. Under the dealer installed undercoat was the prettiest gloss black sheet metal, yes gloss black. That being said, nothing better than that to protect the underneath IMHO. You break into that and you daily drive it, especially in the midwest, you might/will start to rust.
