Tripp's ********* *****, "Bertha"!

On the wheels, that is pitting (oxidation)....you can sand that out and then buff......Buffing alone may hide them enough, depends how bad it is

That wetness on the floor may be your heater core leaking....is it antifreeze or just water?

The dripping is just water. I'm guessing just condensation from the ac system. I'm not too worried about it.

As for the wheels, what kind of grit level should I use? Something light obviously...

did you try some heavy duty cleaner? like purple power? I know when I was cleaning heavy grease off of my intake manifold, Mineral spirits and a brush worked real good.

So I found a Tahoe Limited being parted out near me on craigslist. I'll post the link here. But my question is, what worthy parts might this truck have that would be worth snagging up?

Those lines you were asking about are te engine oil cooler lines. I'll get pic of the difference in trans and oil cooler lines later this evening when I get off of work.

I think today I might try to tackle another mini project on my truck...this time it would be the rusty roof. I'm thinking what I'll use is 400 grit sandpaper to break up the chunky paint bits left over, then I'll coat the rust in rust converter and then just rattle can the roof with universal black spray paint. Kind of a temp fix until I get the truck repainted. Sound like a solid plan? I'll attach pictures of the roof now.

Also, before and after of taking the plasti-dip off the wheels. I think it really makes the truck look better with it taken off.

What do you guys think?

I don't see why that won't work on the roof, ur not gonna be able to see it anyway unless you park it outside and have a 2nd story balcony lol. Even at that, you won't be able to tell.
