Anyone bagged with 9-12 gallons of air?

My 72 is a short bed and I want to run about 9 to 12 gallons of air. I am stuck trying to decide to put a big 12 gallon tank inside the bed or getting three or four three gallon tanks and hiding them all under the bed. If anyone is running this much air on a short bed pictures would be awesome.

Re: Anyone bagged with 9-12 gallons of air?

I ran 7 gallons in my '69 and plan on running 8 gallons in my '66. 12 gallons is a ton of air, I hope you are running some buff compressors or do you plan on going engine driven? I nearly burned up my single compressor trying to support 7 gallons.

I have one 5 gallon tank on an engine driven compressor and have never ran out of air.
