Re: Pic's of stepside air tank install's

I'm not sure the difference between body styles but I'm faced with this issue myself on my '67 stepper. I looked into under the door like above pic from forestb shows. If my measurements are correct, the tank will hang down below the frame slightly. I could be wrong or your truck may have more room.

It seems one of the best spots is where the spare tire goes unless you are either planning on keeping the spare or install a under-bed gas tank. I'm planning on doing the latter. My "plan" now is trying to use the Porterbuilt tubular rear crossmembers and mount the air tank on the back crossmember between it and the rear bumper. Haven't seen or heard anyone doing that but if my measurements are correct it "should" work but may be slightly visible from the back. We will see.
