    I don't know about zinc blocks but a bridge company I worked for would paint any steel they had to weld with zinc paint

    They use zink blocks on remote operated vehicles.they were bolted on.. for the best results u gotta take a wire brush to it weekly/bi weekly we also sprayed it with wd 40 after wiring brushing. There is also a grease called aqua blue we would use

    My friend just started carrying manac trailers n was pumping that you can get them galvanized front to back from the factory.
    I haven’t seen a truck manufacturer do that.
