I've actually never heard of hot dip galvanizing an auto frame, Glenn; I think you might have some trouble with fitting up afterwards, because hot dip galvanizing of finished articles (unlike electroplating or pregalvanizing) is very thick. So I don't think you'll find shops that are known for galvanizing auto frames.

But boat trailers and boat lifts are regularly hot dip galvanized, so it should be feasible, and a shop can perhaps be found by looking into the boating accessories industry. Best of luck with this one!
