- How about some ramps off the back of the truck, parked just outside the garage door ? I've got some 2x12 scrounged from a demolished house that I save for such tasks. Make sure they can't slide off

- I don't think they are as heavy as they look, Ken. I managed to get mine (a very sturdy old gas station compressor with a cast iron 2 cylinder pump and 80[?] gallon tank) off the truck by sliding it

- How big is the compressor? I've got an 80 gallon one which I was able to unload by myself (and I'm a scrawny guy) out of the back of a borrowed F250. It's really bulky, but wasn't outrageously heavy.
