Right now my doors are in really nice shape with only rust holes at the seal on the bottom.I know the best way to slow the rust down would be to get the whole truck out of the weather,but for now I just want to keep up with it and not let it get out of hand.
Would it be a good idea to clean them out good and then POR-15 the inside of the door?I only started useing this stuff in the last few months and I liked how it works,but I'm not sure how well it would work here.

clean as good as you can mechanically and then use a good rust converter [POR makes one] - any top coat inside there will just make future repairs harder

Keep in mind that most rust issues in enclosed panels such as doors occur when water can't drain out. Make sure your weep holes are open now AND after you put anything into the door.
