5-ton air tanks on M35A2

[dieselfuelonly]

One of my air tanks had a pinhole leak due to the previous owners not draining the moisture out of the air system. I ordered 2 tanks and they sent me the tanks off of a 5-ton truck.

The 5-ton tanks seem to have much larger fittings, so I'd need to get some brass bushings to reduce them to the correct size to the the smaller lines on the M35.

There isn't a whole lot of room to have extra length on the tanks from bushings... has anyone ever successfully used the 5-ton tanks?

Any good place to get all the adapters that I'll need from?

Thanks for any advice.
