Paxton, IL | There are several ways to do an under hood air compressor, but it depends on the truck if it’s practical to get it done or not. Most newer trucks lack the room to put on another belt driven accessory.
I recently set up a simple utility bed on a single rear wheel truck. I really didn’t want to lug around a big compressor and dedicate the space to that. So I ended up mounting a twin 12v compressor under the hood. I plumbed it into a 5 gal air tank I mounted to the frame and then from that out to an air reel. It works really well for having continuous air for tires or small air demands. I think it would work pretty well for air tools in short bursts but you would probably want a bigger air tank or multiple tanks. It pumps up to around 100psi pretty quickly, but then takes a little while to go up to 150 psi.
