yessir woli, We have installed alot of them, the rotary compressors just wont work.......no lube = no worky. the compressor you need would have been original equipment on ford vehicles from the mid sixties all the way to 1984, also allmost all case and international tractors up to 1988, I will try and get some pictures from our most recent install on a cummins, That customer is due for vehicle service soon.

I suppose electric is the only way to go in your case, I would bet a compressor for an air ride setup they use for cars these days would work, would have slow recovery but would fill that 12 gal tank. Twin turbos? just put a rocket engine in it! those welding jobs must require you to get there now!!! just hackin on ya woli, good lookin rig by the way!
