I would take the frame somewhere where they could 'hot dip galvanize' it.
They can't do the leaf springs. believe the hot temperature affects spring
steel.


Also an option.

We have torsion-bar axels, so no springs.

Though I don't know how hot the galvinizing
process is and I don't know what temperatures
the rubber in the torsion axels can stand.
