That lasted 30 years! My chassis seems solid. Minor rust. Maybe power wash, wire wheel, and then paint. Or spray the POR.black paint

ok sounds good.If you have the frame stripped down then I'd recommend paying someone to sand blast the whole thing. Then bring it home and do the POR base coat and POR top coats and it should last for a long time...and be quite a bit more durable than powder coating.
Ok, I might go that route, was going to keep it home and not have to haul it somewhere.I got mine sandblasted and powder coated for like $6-800. Plenty of people powder coat frames and have no complaints. Or, maybe I should say, it seems there are less people complaining about the durability of powder coating than there are of POR-15.
Powdercoat is really only for hot rods, show vehicles, and parts that are bolt on. If any powdercoating gets chipped or scratched, corrosives work in underneath the powdercoat and cause rust to spread quickly. Not a good option unless it's a show vehicle only maybe.
I don't know what reasoning some resto companies have. But I've seen some really bad corrosion occur on parts with powder coat compared to paint.I'm really not sure that's true.. plenty of LC resto companies powder coat frames.
Also, I do not see why chipped powder coat would be any more likely to let moisture under the rest of the coating than POR or any other coating.
The only drawback for me is that if you do scratch it, it's not as easy to blend touch up paint.
I’ll add my support for KBS. I have used it on two frames. Both had been sandblasted and I followed the KBS instructions closely.I'll add another POR-15 alternative:
Large All-In-One Paint Kit - Painting Kit from KBS Coatings
Large Painting Kit. Stop rust with this outstanding all-inclusive frame painting kit. It contains all the KBS products you will need to tackle your next restoration project.www.kbs-coatings.com
An older fellow I know who has restored a number of cars/trucks recommended this to me for frame protection/sealing. I've used it on portions of my frame (the rest will follow this fall), and it's held up very, very nicely.
