Help me find a tank - 2 or 3 gallon with 3+ 1/2" ports - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am having problems finding a tank. I am looking for a 2 or 3 gallon tank with 3 or more 1/2" ports. This tank will feed my front bags. I have tried suicide doors, air ride tech, aim, innovative air, and countless other places. Anyone purchased a similar tank before, and if so where did you get it?

I dont know how much your looking to spend but I got a 3 gal. 6 1/2" port from my local big rig supply company for $80.00. It's rated at 150 psi and they even sell some polished aluminum ones that are also rated at the same psi. The also sell the straps to hold it down. I later was in need of another one but low in funds so I went and bought a used polished one from a big rig junk yard for $50.00 with the straps.

Here ya go...Its a five gallon, but very stubby. I'm using two of 'em, one on either side of my frame just behind the cab.

I've been watching the one on Ebay.
Thanks for posting it

I haven't got the fittings on yet, but hopefully soon. I hope to have the front bagged by the end of the month. Just need to find a smaller tank.

Are you still looking at mounting the 2-3 gallon one up front, for your front bags? I have one of the SD 5 gallon tanks for the front and one for the rear and still run out of air real quick @ 145psi. I'd be worried about a 2-3 gallon not having enough volume to get you up more than once.

I am not looking for a lot of playing, my main goal is to be able to mount these cleanly.
Are both of your tanks in the back?
On these Blazers/Jimmy's there isn't a whole lot of room under the truck.

*screamin_c102* · 08-05-2005, 01:46 AM

They are mounted to the frame side-saddle, just behind the cab. I have approx. 4" to the cab and 4-5" to the bed side support at the front of the rear wheel well. \

I assume the blazers floor is lower than the bed floor, but you should still have enough clearance.

I couldn't believe how well they fit, I even tipped mine at about a 15 degree angle so I could put in a water drain, and you still cant see the tanks from the side.

Everything on mine is mounted under the truck, tucked up nice and neat. Nothing is exposed, and when she's aired up you can't tell she's bagged, until I pancake her

I don't have hardly any room there. On the Blazers we only have a few inches before the wheel wells. It's crazy how little room there is under there, but I will get it all figured out.
