Have you looked into the CO2 tank set ups?
I converted a York compressor to fit on my M715 years ago. Added M35 air tanks under the bed, plumbed lines to both bumpers and loved it for the first few years. Then I had to use it about 8 hours straight recovering my M35 gasser. Running impact guns and airing up tires. The clutch coil went, then the air outlet hose burned through, then the compressor started making weird noises a few months later.
So, when I swapped out the 396 big block gas engine for a 6.2 diesel. I just pulled the entire system and threw a CO2 bottle behind the seat. Much simpler, easier and can be used in all of my vehicles.
Your truck to do with as you like. I am just pointing out an option not already discussed that might work better for you in the long term.
