I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but IMO I think you need to strip the truck down to bare metal and start all over with epoxy, 2K and top coats. I'm just a hobbyist and maybe someone will have a different opinion, but I think the existing paint will continue to bubble and lift.
Nice looking truck otherwise, good luck. |

Looks like rust to me. Since the prep is an unknown, I'd strip it as fireboat suggested and redo it the right way.

It might not be rust. I have 2 projects that have the same bubble problems. When you poke the bubble, nothing comes out, but it looks like solvent entrapment or even water contamination between the layers.
X3 on the sand to bare metal and prime with epoxy. |
