cheapest place for airtanks?

alright, im slowly but surely buying my system together (dude who got a 4 wheeler from me is payin me 100 a week, until its paid off, so i dont really want to touch my bankroll, if ya know what i mean, so as i get the money, i buy each parts i need) , so right now i am wanting to buy the tanks for my truck that i am going to do soon (and yes im doing it right the first time), so im thinkin about going with 3-4 7 gal tanks, or 3 9 gal tanks, and 1 3 gal emergency/morning wait tank, and so im looking for a basic tank that will just hold air, becuase im gonna daisy chain the tanks together and then the final tank will have the 4 or 8 1/2 port fittings(most likely 4 cause thats all i need for input), i have found some for like 45 or 65 (i forget exact price), thru AIM, and so far that looks the best, cuz the shop i Help at has a chassistech account, so i can prolly get it lower than what is printed/online, and i have not looked on ebay yet, but i think people would try to get me with shipping, so thats an 50/50 if i want to buy thru ebay, and i have heard from some people about airtanks at walmart, something like 7gal's for $15, any way they have 9 gal tanks?, and can ya give me any more info in reguards to the tanks at "wallyworld"

the compressor setup i am gonna be using is a engine driven york or possibly sanden and the truck will be a 75 Chevy C10 that is gonna have 1/2 lines and valves all around and just need the setup for play, and not hopping, so quickness is not at the top of hte list, but is up high somewhere in that list

You say that you dont want it to hop or nothing so why are you going with 3-4 tanks?? Also 1/2 lines are a bite extreme for this also. You can stick with 3/8 lines and two 5 gallon tanks and have plenty of quick rise time.

well, i work around air suspensions all the time, and to me 3/8 is just to slow for me for playing around, and as for the many tanks, thats so i can play with the system for a bit b4 i have to stop and let the system recharge , so its one of those, i dont need dual 1/2 bags and a nitrogen setup runnin 300 psi, now thats a beginner hopping setup, i just want quick fill time

I can get you alot of the items you are looking for- I have access to 3,5,7,12gallon tanks. I might have more then that. I would have to call my supplier. I will probably be able to hook you up for less then the retail. My 3& 5 gallon tanks are 4 port system, the 7 gallon is 5 port, and the 12 gallon is I believe is 8 port. You dont need that many air tanks if you are running engine driven compressor. I would go with 10-15 gallons of air. Check your pm.
