Then it takes about 2-3 to refill the tank.

that seems to work well for the "just gonna drop it at the shows". I will also tell ya that for the first two - six months, you'll play with them at every stop light you can. at least i did. especially if the wife or kids were with :)

ok, the other thing for ya is a pick of my compressor, tank, gas tank and exhaust setup. i'm not sure if you can do this though since you're a step bed.

i'm not sure mounting it under your cab is gonna work. you may run the risk of laying your truck down on the tank, or it hitting bumps in the road.

you have to keep in mind that your truck MUST still move @ 10mph or so if you're completely aired out. if not, you're gonna be screwed if anything ever blows going down the interstate.

My mufflers are even turned verticle, and there is still not enough roomto mount it on the inside of the frame rail. The only other thing I could think of was kind of a strange deal. I thought about putting a shelf across the trailing arms and mounting the tank and compressor to that. You would have to mount it with rubber mounts so that it could flex and move with the trailing arms. The only other thing I could think of was mounting the tank to the bottom of the bed just above the driveshaft near the front of the bed, by the driveshaft bearing. These are just a few different thoughts I had. Good Luck!

:agree: You can do that, or I went to Napa and bought some grommets for where my air line goes through the front crossmember. I'll be doing the same for anything else that runs through the frame.

you can take a piece of rubber hose, like heater hose, and slide it over the hose or split it and put it over the hose and wire tie it...
