Dan : Which models of truck compressors would work good for a
homemade,
engine driven unit? I need to have the capability of developing about
25-30 cfm at
70+ psig for s shop project. Tankage is a 650 gallon propane tank and
I don't mind
ganging two compressors together and having split cut-in/cut-out
pressures.


I don't know what it would cost to buy and fit a truck compressor, but have
you seen this?

I built a 2 hp from a Mopar A/C compressor that I used for several years.
But I think if I had to do it all over, I might just buy a pump from China.

When my 5 hp Saylor Beal failed a few months ago, I bought a complete 10 hp
that I believe uses this same compressor. It makes a lot of air even at 175
psi. Almost 35 CFM I think.
