Re: 1949 Chevy 3600 into a daily driver

well reason I ask on your below frame location is.... if you mount below frame line, then perhaps you can play with mounting comps upright and getting a different angle on your lines. (I'm just a stickler for upright mounting on comps even though side mount still works). I'm seeing a couple ideas but without knowing sizes of things by the pics, its hard to say if it would work.
1.what if the comps where butt up to each other, heads facing one another and the hoses run through frame in the center, then to the space that is now left (where old compressor location was) you can mount a battery there.
2. any benefit to swapping air tank location with comps? if that area is bigger maybe the battery can go there too.
3. more work than necessary maybe, but... you can move the xmember back and have more room, seems to be about 6" from back of frame to comps, is that possible to utilize that space?
4. easy way out, can leader hoses go under that xmember if you had battery in middle?
