Can you have an entire Jeep frame hot-dip galvanized? I've never seen
anything bigger than about the size of a toaster oven done that way. But
maybe the frames come in pieces?

Yes, you can. Replacement frames for Land Rovers are available hot-
dip galvanized, and I believe those are done here. Look hard enough
and you might find hot-dipped Jeep frames as well.


As to an amuminum frame, I might be a bit concerned about reactions
where it meets steel pieces.

Aha! I see on the Web that someone says it cost only $200 to get his
Chevelle wagon frame acid-dipped and hot-dip galvanized. I had no idea it
would be that cheap.

It looks like a good way to go, except that the insides of the tubes still
have to be treated.

You mentioned some of the complicated aircraft solutions.

But he simple one is to simple seal the tubes.
Once the oxygen inside the tube is "used up" it won't rust any more...
