    iv always just built my own glad hand air hoses. 50 ft air hose a glad hand a few fittings done.i used to carry two one short one and one 50fter im more times than not in bfe and run in puncture prone area's so i use them more than id like, so i used to carry a short one if it was just a drive tire i was needing to air up and a 50 ft'er for trailer tires. my short one grew legs a few years ago and never replaced it just use my 50' one these days but the short one was handy to have at times.

    as far as chucks just a standard tire straight dual tire chuck and stick gauge.

    Just get a good chuck that stays on the valve stem without you holding it. No need for a gauge on the Chuck. The Truck will only put in as much as the compressor will supply anyhow.
