Anyone with a bagged step with tank relcation?

Just trying to find out where everyone is mounting everything. With the step, I cant really find a good place to mount a compressor or the air tank.

Im using a fuel cell (possibly blazer tank) and just dont have that space anymore. Im guessing the compressor can mount under the cab between the cab supports...but what about the air tank?

N2billet mounted a tank behind his seat in Hazel so I know a long thin 5-gal will fit there w/the tank relocated like yours. You could mount the comps to the frame under the cab & run the airlines up through the cab floor. Another option is to have a tank made for the front bed wall (something similar to an old moon fuel tank). You could even mount standard air tanks @ the front bed wall & pin-stripe them or detail them to work w/the 'theme' of the truck.

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 switching to bags. How much room is there in the far rear behind the tank and before the bumper. I dont have a bumper and brackets to mock it up. Anyone have pics of this location?
