Post by: 81_Chevy on October 22, 2012, 02:10:55 pm

ive been thinking and i kinda want to put an air system to run things like air horns you know all that good stuff. is there anybody out there that makes a belt driven compressor for a 350?

I bet you could make one fit off an old C60.

If you get a York compressor and make some mounts for it you can run air tools off of it.  Look here:  http://coloradok5.com/york.shtml

Any belt driven compressor will work. The mount / bracket will have to be fabricated. If you can find a small compressor off an electric, or gas powered unit. You can make it work.

If you want a kit and don't need AC, just use the AC for the compressor, or one of these:

i think im gunna go with this one since i want to keep my factory A/C on my truck. it is really a good idea. and since im pretty good with the guys at the local junk yard in south sioux i can find a compressor and a couple miles down the road there is all sort of semi junk yards i can find a tank.
