How to wire 5 gal. air compressor?

Can I wire a 2-5 gal compressor on my truck, or would it be too much load? Or maybe somehow through the pto? Im looking about 150psi or so, mainly to blow out cab of tractor, radiator, and air filters, and use grease gun when I'm on jobsites. Nothing big for tools, and don't want gas cause they're more than I want to spend. Thanks for any input!

I have an EDC installed on my truck for my train horns and air bags.

Extreme Outback makes the kit for the Dodge trucks, and goes where a second CP3 would mount. It's good for 200 psi, but I only run mine up to 175 in an 8.5 gallon tank and it works great.

Refills in about 75 seconds with the engine running around 2000 RPM.
