They also have a masterflow one for truck tires up to 40 inches.price still good.
might be larger though.

Let me know if you find good spot to mount.

super flow and power flow are the same compressor just different names.
I think that I have found a place to mount(I hope). on top of the fuse box in the engine compartment. I have not tried it yet but, here's the plan!
(1) remount the mounting brackets on the compressor, so when mounted it will lay on it's side(not much space but, it will fit when hood is closed).
(2) remove compressors rubber feet
(3) mark where holes will need to be drilled for mounting on fuse box lid.
(4) take fuse box lid off, drill holes
(5) use a mounting bolt w/ a lowprofile head (when installindg the bolt, make sure the bolt head is at the underside of the fuse box lid)
install a nut so that the bolt does not fall into the fuse box when lid is reinstalled.
(6) mount compressor using wing nuts so that the compressor is easy to remove for fuse access.
(7) hard wire compressor straight to battery.
cut compressor wire to proper length and
install electrical connectors. mount to
battery terminals.
I will probably run a 6' or so length of hose from the compressor to the frame for easy access for tire air up.
again, I have not tried this installation but, I have lined everything up and it seems like it will work. when I get some time I will complete the install and post pics.
