Done.
Had to drill 6 new frame holes. Only used 2 straps. One tank is mounted to the underside of the cab. Second is mounted inside the winch frame rail. Moved the exhaust back to the front of transfer case. Stack runs up and out even with the inner frame.
916 and 920 trucks have a lot more room above the fuel tanks for their air tanks compared to the 915.
You can see the mounting line on the fender on top of the tank ve the dual air tanks mounting line on the passengers side fender. You may have to move one tank and recenter the other one on...
Got these aluminum boxes from the @Swamp Donkey. They went to some MRAP storage kit. Decided to use them as battery boxes. two group 31s fit nicely with 3/4" rubber/fiberglass mat under it and on each end and in the middle. The engine side mat will be up even with the battery to deflect heat.

I am going to mount it under my winch platform on the frame.
On the 920 two of these could be mounted to the winch frame...
