poweder coat is the toughest... except for the springs they flex to much

Nope - get your springs powder coated by any good company and it will last. Have 4 sets sitting in the garage and two on the sleds and never had an issue. The PC should flex enough that it will not crack and flake.

No worries boots - most people don't realize how flexible PC'ing really is, its actually surprising what it will bend to. Most springs come from the factory PC'd, I always thought about chroming them, not sure if you could do it though, but it would be cool if you could.

the older,late 70's springs were chromed on some units were they not? would probably work for a couple years anyways.

I wasn't even alive in the 70's so I can't really comment...
