From my experience I would put them somewhere where they are somewhat out of the elements. I know that is almost impossible, but you don't want a massive amount of condensation and dirt getting into them...

I have my valves in the bed on the front of the bed where it meets the cab. They are mounted there with brackets and I made a removable sheet metal cover for them...its clean and you could never tell!

I haven't had any problems and they are covered, but when I need to get to them its 4 chrome allen heads and pow!

Hope this helps!

Make a bracket, like a small piece of angle iron, but only needs ot be about 16 gauge.

The bolt that hold the upper and lower halves of the valve together come out. Use those to fasten it to the bracket.
