Drill bits - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I need to drill a couple holes through my frame, and I have had bad luck with drill bits in the past in making good progress. Usually they just don't seem to cut into the metal fast enough for me, or they just break or dull up so much that they are useless to me.

What brands have you all used with fast results to drill holes into the thick steel of the frame?

(The holes I need to drill are going to be about a quarter inch).

EDIT: Actually, they are 5/8.
