I'm running one Viair 480C 100% duty compressor with a 5 gallon tank. Not sure if I need another compressor or not but I can always add another one. I have to raise my bed floor about 6-8 inches to accommodate the step notch so I'm thinking of tucking everything in the extra space. I hope to get working on that design this week to see how it will work.

thanks murd.... Iam still not sure if to go 2 pumps or 1... not that I will play with it all that much...only reason I can think of is if one pump craps out on me.

Re: How about some pics of bagged 47-59
 
My advise, just run two pumps. well worth the investment and the little extra mounting.
You will use the air more than you think and for sure its a nice safety net if a comp dies. I'd also suggest plumbing in a shrader valve to manually fill the tank.

It was a lot of work but worth it in the end. I had stripped everything to the frame except the cab (I didn't have the facility and equipment) then painted the frame and underside with POR-15. I rewired it, did some minor mechanical work but sent it out for disc brake upgrade and A/C (I live in Florida) installation. I'm 70 years old so this is my last major project, but I have to keep busy so there will always be something in the garage.

Thanks for the comment

Thank guys, good to know other truckies like it. The engine isn't ready for public consumption yet. I cleaned and painted everything when the body was off but after months of sitting in various shops and garages it needs a refreshing. Here's some before and after pics.

Thanks again

Paul

I also start to be ready for the car (sorry poor pictures ...).
A few little adjustments will still be and then it is ready.

here is my latest build 49Hardtimes. Brought it to Pittsburgh for some flicks. I built the engine and reconstructed the dash at my print shop in Pittsburgh. Built the rest of the truck up north at my garage. Over 800 hrs in this one.

Are those 20" or 22" on the rear with M/T SR Radials? tire size?
