Run the 1/2 air line inside cab.

Ok now do I Tee it to a 1/2 inch schrader or manifold.
Or can I hook it up to a manual valve with a gauge and switch.
Tank and compressor?

you can take the 2 airlines from the bags and connect to the tee. the tee can stay in the eng compartment and when you come out of the tee run the 1 airline thru the firewall. there is a grommet on the firewall behind the brake petal that comes out and you can slide it thru there. at the end of that air line put a push to connect 1/2 in fitting there and then a coupler that is also 1/2 and then a reducer so you can screw in the 1/8 inch schrader....you dont need a manifold if you are just using a schrader valve to air in and out the bags.

tank and compressor....yes get some. right now you need to do it real simple and once you get the hang of what we are talking about then add a compressor and tank. it will be a no brainer once you actually start doing this.

i would say lay all this stuff out on a table. hook up the bag on the table with the fittings and stuff and air it up. then imagine the set up on the truck. then do 1 phase at a time
