Best location for air comp

Im getting ready to install the air system on my truck. Where is the best/driest location on the frame? In my Tahoe I have it under the hood with the pressure switch to keep in dry. I would like to find a different location that is hidden.

Thanks for your input.

You could put a truck bed inside the bed. You could still mount the truck box without the wood.
