Ideas for where to mount an air tank in a Taco??

Ok,

I have been mulling this over for a while now and I haven't come up with an answer that satisfies me so I am asking for some help. I was thinking about getting a toolbox for my bed, and then mounting my compressor (Viair 450C) and an air tank under the toolbox. The problem is that the only tanks that will fit under the toolbox are pretty small (I would need one long and thin). I can't seem to find a decent place under the truck to mount one of any reasonable size. So, any ideas of where to mount one on a Taco? Or any ideas for tanks that are of odd shapes?

Thanks Guys!

Seems to me that there's a lot of space under the bed...

Well I've seen a couple of guys with custom tanks built into their bumpers... as far as locations other than the toolbox? I've seen one tank in place of the factory spare location...

I think your toolbox is the best location, you just need to find a flat tank that can be placed in the bottom of the toolbox.
