The Ford Barn

I have forever been resigned to the fact that the sun or weather had taken all paint off any exposed metal on my 1950 F3. The entire truck was / is a rust color with a rusty texture. Today just in a whim I took a nylon brush to it to clean up the area around the gas fill spout. Loan behold there is perfect gray paint under that rust stuff. So now my question, now what? How Is the best way to scrub this rust stuff off without removing what's left of the paint? I proceeded to work on the door and it seemed to reveal a mixture of rust metal and paint but less of paint. You can see on the fender what the rest of the truck looks like. Any suggestions?
