Leesburg, Ohio | We had york compressors on several trucks for several years as air compressors with no problems...the last one was on a '90 Chevy 454. Added a v-belt deep-dish pulley in front of the sepentine pulley on the crank, and welded up a bracket and brace to bolt on the front corner of the engine. Used the P&H bumper for a reserve tank...welded up the holes and welded a sleeve in around the hitch release pin assembly.
I now use a 12 volt powered two-cylinder compressor made by "12 Voltaire" , I think in Nebraska. I don't know if they're still in business...can't find a website, but I can look up a phone no. if anyone wants it. Looks like a starter motor from a diesel engine, and a common heavy cast iron two cylinder compressor, belted together...designed to go in front or behind the wheel well in a pickup bed...we have it one compartment of our service truck. Would still use a york, but no room to mount it under the hood on our current truck. 12Voltaire was about $800!! Ouch!
