Air system pics.....

Does anybody have any pictures of there air system mounted?? Just wanting to see how you guys mounted everything...in bed, under truck, etc. Where is the best place to mount the tank, compressor, and valves. Also what type of switches are you guys running?? I am going to be bagging my 71 c10 soon. I just wanted to get some ideas. I am still going to be hauling/towing with my truck, so I don't really want to take up a bunch of bed space, or have stuff bang into it when I am hauling something. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Later,

Travis

Everything (2 SD tanks, 2 Viair compressors, all 8 valves, relays, back-up compressor, etc.) in my '71 C10 are mounted below the bed on the frame rails. It can be done, just take careful measurements

Here is the tank and valves for the front of my Jimmy. This tank will be tied to a larger tank, I don't have much room under there.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

I am always open to offers. Around my house everything is "for sale" except my wife, my daughter and my dog. There are days that my wife and dog ain't sacred either...
