Matt's truck is like the real world truck version of the knight in Monty Python.

 

& in one piece in a new state!

 

do u do any pipe fabrication, I would like to turn my nfab light bar into there discontinued prerunner light bar

 

So yes I’ll do tube work. I currently have 1.5 and 1.75 dies for my tubing bender.

I do not have a tubing roller for long sweeping curves.

 

Overkill? Absolutely. But I'm still intrigued by this. I have a lot to get done before this (the list is extensive) but this might be a 2025 project.

How where in the hell is that going to go in a 3rd gen engine bay? And airing up a tire wont happen faster... Schrader valves I think top out at 2 CFM.

@AllTacosFloat setup for the 4 in one is what I am going for.

 

It's about cool factor, not about making sense

I like the external spaghetti so I can use it on my wife's car, someone else's truck, etc. I'm going to make a small scale one for my bikes w/ presta valves too.

There's zero space in the engine bay, which is going to be chaos, but that's the challenge!

 

Plus 4 in 1 let’s you go to.. 8 cfm lol

 

Are you going to have a mini hilift for your bike too?

 

I thought with a middle name like Alfredo, you’d want your spagetti internal

 

Flashing me back to the minitruckin days Modified a few york A/C compressors back then for air suspensions. Worked remarkably well. 2 piston, at idle would pump a 15 gal tank from 0-200 psi in no time nevermind at higher RPM's. Had a wet crank, and a massive clutch putting out easily 10 cfm.

Not tiny though

 

But actually because I will only have one battery, it'll be a 27F when I upgrade, sure, but still only one battery to run fridge and truck, with a solar panel. I figure this might be an easier on the electrical system. Plus a twin compressor is some bucks anyway, so financially, it might be similar.

 

Anybody have access to a spring compressor? Not interested in getting a coil through the abdomen using a cheap auto parts store one.

 

We had luck using 2 sets, 3 compressors around the 650 coil. Slightly less sketchy ​

 

There seems to be a less sketchy one that Home Depot sells:

I'd probably trust that more than the screw on ones...

 

Just read the reviews(2), it’s kinda sketchy too.
Check marketplace there’s a few

 

If you want to make the trek down to RI, I have a

$905 Branick 7600 Strut Spring Compressor

Branick 7600 spring compressor at home, or I could use the same one at my work as well.

 

Thats a good deal for a marketplace one. I saw them at $500+.

I also have thoughts of just making my own. They're simple and I can overbuild tf out of it.

 

That's Badass!!!! I would love to own one of those puppies
