take tires off, wirewheel it, rattlecan black, put tires on - call it done.    As you've said in the past, buyers would want to put their own taste of wheels on it.

Grey for sure, goes with the trucks looks. if the cab was mint paint I'd say gloss black

Dark gray would look good.

Anything that is light colored would show the rust pitting more.
