I had mine under the bed in front of the rear tire for over a year with no problem. Getting under to change the bottle was a pain the first time then i got a jack to hold up the bottle while I hooked it back up. Last year I moved it to behind the passenger seat and unless I show someone its back there no one ever notices. I say just mount it under the bed and put a piece of rubber to shield it from debris.

You still have to drill holes somewhere under the bed. That's gonna rust too...

think about welding some threaded studs to the bed floor that way you can mount a base plate to it, then remove if wanted? That would require less material equaling less weight than a bed width plate. Sand, weld, seal, paint= no rust. Jst how I would do it.
