Boxing Frame and Powder Coat Color for Pulling Truck - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Doing a frame swap due to some rust issues around the rear spring hangers. Was thinking about powder coating the frame before I moved the cab over and can’t decide on a color for the frame and springs. Was thinking gloss black, but wanted something a little different since I might go to the expense and trouble of powdercoating it. Any ideas??

Also while I am doing this I am going to box most of the frame sections since this truck will see the occasional truck/tractor pulling scene. Any good ideas on how to box it. And what works better than some? Anyone boxed their frames??

Will add some pics of my progress eventually but have added some before pics.

Thanks guys
