i would suggest an engine driven compressor. you will have plenty of power to turn it with your motor and they fill faster most electrics. and i would hate to hear that buzzing compressor sound coming from the old iron. i think your tanks options sound good. nice and out of the way. maybe use 3/8" valves so they don't slam you around to fast.

As far as valves go, you could go with one of these and save yourself some time and effort. All u gotta do it mount it and wire it up. Oh, and it's waaaayyyyy cheaper than buing individual valves!

Picked up my compressors...Viair Part # 40013
Dual 400C Chrome Performance Value Pack
Got a great price...so while I was there I also
picked up a 12-Gallon Air Tank ...
Features:
- 8 1/2" Ports
- Red Oxidized Coated Interior to resist Rust
- D.O.T. Approved
- Powder Coated Gloss Black
Dimensions: 12 1/2" H x 44" L
Same EXACT tank as this one but paid nowhere near
this price...
http://www.easystreetair.com/index.asp?
PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=460
Was thinkin' I can just mount SMC 1/2" valves
directly to the tank...
Think this will work? Waddya think...
My truck weighs 3240 pounds without driver
and this is only FB setup..no hoppin' or dancin'...

NO valves yet man...I'm just makin' it up as I go

to the tank...or spread 'em out...ya know...put one
closer to all four corners of the truck???
Waddya think...1/4" airline???...Like I said...
...I'm lost...oh yea...any sugesstions on WHAT VALVES???...
