Anyone bagged a 73-87 with parts for an 18-wheeler?

Title says it all. I work in the parts department of a big truck dealership and sell a lot of air suspension parts that might be able to be used to bag my 84 GMC 1/2 ton SWB. I know the suspension bags for 18 wheelers are way too big, however, what about the air bags for the cab? I can buy cab air bags, made by Firestone or Goodyear, for around $25 each. I have every fitting/switch made for trucks at my disposal for very good prices compared to pre-packaged systems made for street vehicles. Truck cabs weigh around 3,500 lbs, or more depending on the configuration of the truck. As far as I can tell, the mechanical compressor from a big truck is the only item I would not want to use due to its large size (And because it is mechanically operated).

What do you all think?
