That came from a Silverado. It was SUPER rusty underneath, but the body was in pretty good shape, including the lower quarters. Typical northeast vehicle.

I’m just glad I don’t live in the rust belt. Sheesh.

Personally I would start with 600 or 800 wet to start the cut and buff process. Use that to get rid of most of the orange peel , then 1500 , then 2000.

Na take tire off might need to be cut off if your real lucky go buy 4 gallons of vinegar and cut 55 gallon barrel in half put enough water in to cover rim leave it in for week wire brush . Pull out soak in baking soda . Paint asap .. Rim be just like new just bit lighter.... It's a salt belt tip.. this for Tonyrodz.

Just wait till I get these off and strip and make that aluminum look like chrome . I'm pretty close to Jersey rim on steel rims . That was a bigger project then I wanted it to be .

Thx for the advice Joe. I got it for the tire alone--which looks new, till you look closely at it. Starting to dry rot. Real shame. I was still contemplating using the tire, it's for my work van.

Look at date code it's shocking I got 2 tires look new but date code says 2005.. If your going stress a tire towing and hauling there's only about 10 year window but no cracks otherwise your going deal with a blowout .. Its just reality ..

How do you read the date codes on a tire?
