Compressor and Valve Locations? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

ol84 · 10-15-2005, 11:39 AM

Anyone have any pictures and suggestions on where to mount my compressor, tank(5 gallon multi port) and valves for my bag system? I am thinking I am going to put them under the right front side of the bed where the second gas tank would go, but I would appreciate any suggestions. Should have some pics in a couple of weeks.

Thanks,
Rusty

What about where the spare tire goes. You could always put it in the bed. N2TRUX has a bunch of picture on this subject.

I am putting a fuel cell in that location, otherwise that is where I would put them. I have seen a few pics of people mounting the valves/switches on the frame rail and the compressor under the hood. Thanks for the input...still brainstorming

I would build a shield for the valves and the compressor if I put them between the frame and the body. they are going to have road debri and rain water all over them.
