Yeah, just get you some 8/3 SO or SJ cord (wire) and whatever plugs you need.

I just put a cord on my compressor, used 20' 8/3 SO and one male plug, got out for about $60. Got it at the local electric supply. I already have 220v, and an extension for my welder, so all I had to do was run enough power supply from the compressor to the extension cord. You'll need a female plug too, another $20?

The SJ cord is (usually) slightly cheaper cause the neoprene outer shell is not quite as thick.
