I didn't do much today. I decided to look for a bigger air tank than what I was originally going to use. What I have now is twin 2 gallon tanks off a portable compressor, giving me 4 gallons. I'd like to find a single one double that capacity or so if possible. Besides that, my friend that was going to come over works for the state and got called in to work on broke down plow trucks. There will be another day.

It will have plenty of uses. It's always nice to have an accessible air compressor at the race track too. It will run tools, maybe not constant, but will work for what I need.

 

There is another option if ppl was cfms vmac makes engine mounted compressors that put out 150 cfm! They can run the biggest air tools no problem

 

They sure are proud of them. Holy price tag!

 

My superduty has two old propane tanks mounted on the outside of frame, up inside the rear bed. I don't think the obs has that kinda room, but just keep looking for another set of compressor tanks on cl or find some tanks off a trailer truck.
Someone's gotta be giving away an old blown up air compressor on cl.

 

Darin maybe you can find a better tank setup here

Thanks for the link Mike. I'm going to do some searching local and see what I can come up with first.

 

Darin I got your pm. Its looking good so far. I will try to get some pictures up for you tonight. They are on another computer. I keep forgetting all my pics took a hike when webshots changed! I need to see if I can get all of those back up for you guys.

 

WOW! TJ is alive. glad to see you here.
Darin, good work, did you have to modify the cold side pipe of the IC? And where is your pass side battery?

Edit: BTW I see a little missaligned the belt??

 

Jose he moved his batteries to the pass. side frame iirc

 

Thanks Mike

 

Thanks Tim. I appreciate the help.

Thanks Jose. Mike's right, the batteries are on the passengers side frame rail. The belt is not out of alignment, the one picture kind of looks like it, but one of the other ones shows it's aligned fine. The IC tube looked like Glenn's originally, so yes I did move it. I didn't even use the one that came with the S366 to modify as its aluminum. I had a piece to cut up and make a new one to run under the york.

 

This looks sweet Darin! I'm really curious to see how it works when you get it all done.

 

Ah, I think I remember your write up about the batteries. Thanks for clarification about the pulleys and IC pipe.

 

Thanks Nate. I started this project too long ago, it will be nice to finally finish it.

 

Dumb question, because I can't remember reading it in the past...
Is this just a York a/c compressor or have you put the kit in it to make it an air compressor, or is it originally an air compressor.
I have a couple yorks I've had the kit put into so I can use it for air. Also, isn't there some mod you need to do to lay a standup one on its side, or am I thinking something else. (Note to some people, they made standup and laydown york compressors)
