Dave they raise the bed to clear the big notch on the frame & the differential. Only if they don't want to cut the bed up. I used to put wheel tubs, and a raised piece in the middle. But you have to cut the bed up. The compressor can go any ware. But the tanks are limited on what room you have under the bed, cab, or in the bed.
Here's some I did on newer trucks. The same can be done on the older trucks too.
This is what it would look like if you didn't cover it.
When done you can Line-X the bed. It really finishes it off.
I did a lot of set ups like this one. I did as many as 4 compressors, and 4, 3 gallon air tanks.
Here's one I did with 3, 3 gal tanks, and 2 compressors
Here's one with 2 5 gal tanks, and 3 Big Viar Compressors.
And to answer your question. Hell yeah I'm going to bag it. I don't know if I want it to lay frame, but it will be really low.
Like my old 56 Belair. This is without notching the frame.
