well currently i have a tiny viair 120psi pump kit in my truck for my helper bags and semi air horn up front. and well my pump is about dead! doesnt want to work unless i bump it and then it still doesnt sound right and doesnt pump up that much i dont think. SO anyways i bought new compressors Viair 380C dual pumps. i was going to just buy a single BUT for the price of two i figured WHY NOT buy both and ill have another for when ever i do bag the front of my truck ill have enough air to play around some ;) i got em on alittle sale $279 for both shipped. or ill just save one of the pumps and get another air tank and slap it on my old 66impala for a air horn or some type on it someday ;) either another semi horn like my truck or a more common train horn.
im thinking of a 3-5gallon air tank. and instead of using the supplied 165/200 pressure switch i think id be more comfortable running a 140-170 range switch. right now my switch is a 90/120 i think on my current tank.

im going to pull that pump off here shortly and slap one of these 380C on there and try to see if i can just slap it on there or not. im hoping it will fit around my other fittings and such since i got alot more on it than is shown in that old picture above! i hope so cause i dont feel like making to large of a mount. hoping to get away with a easy pad extension off the top and it cleaning my pressure switch and other top fittings! but i probably wont.

BUT ANYWAYS whats a good air tank to run ruffly 3-5gallon at 200psi MAX for me? i know aluminum tank wont rust but is that realy worth the extra 50bucks or so? and either way id be painting the air tank to match my truck since i will be putting it inside the bed. either on the top side or on the beds front wall near the cab up high near the rail.
just kinda not sure about air tanks ratings since most dont say rattings and some that do say 150working pressure but tested twice there working pressure, some day 200psi max. hell id rather have overkill strong than a tank blowin up on me! even tho i dont plan on running 200psi id like to keep it under 180psi preferably, maybe just 150psi.
