Re: [A/S] F-350 -- Does Ford make Hitch Receivers

That's not a bad idea, I've actually worked with Air compressors on big 
trucks before, but it's a little more complicated than that, if I were 
to use the air system for say Air brake on a trailer (which
would make me go through with it, since I have a air brake trailer. I 
would also need a tank to store up the air, even though it would be 
small, they are sometimes hard to find a location to mount them.
They can get to be bigger than you think when a certain amount of air is 
needed.  But just think I could mount Air Horns then,  I think I know 
someone who has one off a Locomotive, or at the very least I
could go with a semi air horn.

I believe you, I drove heavy equipment in the service and the 5 ton 
trucks had a system for deflating/inflating the tire while the truck was 
in motion for sand and snow.

I have yet to drive out onto the sand though, so . . . .maybe I'll hold 
off on this one for now  :c).

Also, after I read the particulars about the Dumping system that I 
linked to, I found out it had it's own Electric hydraulic pump, no PTO 
needed.
