Zinc plating would be fine, although finding someone with a tank big enough may be a struggle. Also, any sealed tubes would need to be vented so the chassis doesn't float. Although threads would be fine and wouldn't need re-tapping.

Zinc spraying is rarely done nowadays, but as Jason said, it will cause threads to fill up. I wouldn't recommend putting a bolt in the hole to stop this, because they tend to chemically fuse together. We tend to drill and tap holes afterwards.
