Yup, the belt driven unit is quite the beast. I had actually looked into it since it had massive airflow. It is even reasonably priced to boot. If you call the company, I think they offer mounting kits for the unit based on your model truck. Many of the Super Duty trucks (not all though) were designed for dual alternators so you could place this unit in that position.
That being said, having just spent 3 days under my truck, I can tell you there is a lot of other things that have to be wired up to make it all work. I am putting in air chucks in the front and back of the truck and that all connects to the 4 gallon tank that sits near the middle. Creeping around under the truck has not been very pleasant when all of the years of dirt decides to fall in your eyes.
That being said, I am nearly finished with the project. Just need to install the rear chuck and then tidy a few others things up. Looking forward to getting this one wrapped up!
I will inquire after them, due to the age of my pickup, I suspect that they do not offer a part (early 90s Dodge Gas engine) and would need to fabricate one myself.
I personally plan to add, even if far less potent, an air system with tank and compressor to my truck for the air suspension and to drive a new air horn to replace the original aftermarket one that uses a small electric pump (All of which has long since failed, it was after a Harbor Freight horn kit :p).
