I think I saw one at Adavance Auto Parts the other day Tony.... I think it was a three gallon, the only thing is... I'm NOT TOO SURE on the diameter of it.... it was an Air bubble, if you are fimiliar with those.

I know this may sound wierd, but if you can weld, I would suggest just making one out of 1/8" plate steel, well, thickness would depend on how much PSI you're wantin this thing to take......
Just out of curiousity, what are you wanting this for?? Is the Centurion about to get air bags?? ARe you making a portable air tank to do balloon animals for the kids? Or are you just making an on board air type of set-up.

I personally would not recommend you making one that will require higher pressure. They need to be certified. Talk about a mobile bomb!!!

I can weld! but I don't have a welder or a a good way to roll steel. 
Anyways I will be running 145 PSI and I am looking for around a three gallon tank like the bagged vehichles use. I want to mount it to the frame rail of my truck. My bags should be in by the end of the week and I forgot to order a air tank with them. With Winsteads being on Saturday I figured I could get one in KC then and get it all installed on Sunday. A five gallon tank would work also. A bagged 4X4 will be sweet!
Actully I need the tank for my Train horns.
