Re: air compressor

A lot depends on what look you're going for. I've seen them in the bed and on the frame rail. Where are you going to mount your solenoids? Are you going with individual solenoids, or one of those fancy blocks? I like the idea of showing it off, but plan on using my bed for real truck stuff. I'm going to be hiding mine.

Re: air compressor

My son stuck his along the outer frame rails just behind the front bed panel. Seemed like a perfect fit.
If I remember correctly we had to modify one bracket to make it a left/right application, but I don't remember if it was simply drilling holes or if welding was involved.

Welcome Aboard! If you look above you will see a search box. Type "air compressor mounting" in and click the 67-72 button. That will lead you to dozens of posts on mounting components. To further narrow the results click on images and happy searching.
You can mix it up some try a search for "air tank mounts"
Good luck!
