Got some pics to show you. Not done yet, still got wire and plumbing but the brackets are in place. Had to do some slight modifications to my brackets as 11 gauge stainless steel still had some flex to it. The air tank was the bigger problem just because of how much taller that bracket was. Even though everything was nice and tight, just road vibration I think would have been enough to cause the tank to vibrate out of sync with the truck. I don't think it would have fallen off any time soon but worth fixing anyway. I ended up adding the white top bracket just to tie the top of the tank back to the frame and reduce the vibration (see last photo). The Air Compressor I am undecided on. The bracket has less flex but I may still change it out some day with something less prone to vibration.
Anyway, finished for the day. Next will be electrical and the air fittings. I will say that doing this without a lift and on the street in front of my house is a pain in the tail but once it is all done I will be very happy.
