The only thing that hangs down on mine is the *90 and quick connect air fitting. Everything else is tucked up pretty high.

Spare tire was a nice spot, but I may try something different now.

I have my tank and pump in my tool box and the horns are under the truck just behind the transmission.

Please post pics most of us that have not done it but want to so help a person out please.....
I took a few pics for ya today. I mounted my tank in the center cause that just seemed to be the place that it fit the best. The 3/8 lines are from the compressors and the 1/2 line goes to the horn.
I installed the electric valve as close to the horn as possible so it would be instant full dB's. As it is, you can not help but have an involuntary movement when I blow the horn.
(Note the valve just above the horn.)
This is the bracket that uses the two holes from the spare tire assembly.
The OP has the ability to mount his horns individually so he can mount them along the frame rail. The spare tire location works well for anyone wanting to use a k5 or k3 type horn with the original manifold.

PB Blaster on sale Joe?
On a side note. Like the idea of a portable air hose.

Thanks for the reply's guys. I was intending to do a tool box install for this, but I'm changing my mind, not crazy about losing the bed space.
They showed up yesterday, but of course I'm back to work now, so the install will have to wait until I'm off again. Started looking at it last night tho, leaning towards air tank to mount right after trans crossmember, with compressor on the other side of the framerail. I'm going to try to use some existing holes from the factory, but until I can get the truck up in the air, it will have to wait.

Maybe I missed it but how many gallons is that tank? Looks perfect up there :thumbsup:

I am not seeing the press reg for Turning on and off you compressor.... I like the tank location.... I may have to look and see what I can do under mine. Short bed correct....

I have grover horns on my truck and mounted them up underneath the body right behind the front wheel wells. One on each side of the cab. Completely hidden but loud as he!!. I have a pull chain air horn valve mounted in my header panel over the driverside door to give it that "Big Rig" feel. I also mounted my tank and compressors in my tool box like Joe.
I have since removed all that from the truck as the truck is serving a different purpose but will be installing everything on my 450 over the next couple of weeks.

IIRC it is a 7 Gal. tank. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/7-GA...ptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories
The regulator is in the first bung, in front of the 3 blue hoses. Mine is a long bed.
I will be taking mine off this summer too and putting it on the new truck. Which I would have gotten you with it today when I passed you on 213. You never see me when I pass you in that truck. lol

I wish I had the slim tank but oh well. Just an FYI to anyone who looks at my setup, you have to be lifted as most of my stuff is above the axle/driveline.
