I mounted a compressor on each side of the inner frame rails as it bends up after the rear trailing arm crossmember. mounted one 3 gallon tank on each side of the outer frame rail between the rear tire splash guard and the rear bumper. works great and hidden nicely. mounted the 4 solenoid valves under bed floor on a welded plate i fabbed to the "step" up from cab floor to bed floor

Just an idea for tanks?
Here is the best sample picture I could find on the web images.

Do you have a Welder and access to purchase Square tubing?
Not sure if the bumper idea is with the theme of your build.
But Custom tanks could be made to mount underneath or make a custom tank behind the bumper.
Just food for though.
