A reg and a Schrader fitting to plug into your LP inflator hose.
Oh. And a tire guage.
Oh. And a tire guage.
Scuba tank, first stage, BC inflator hose, and a BC-hose compatible tire inflator like the one made by Innovative.
The tire inflator connects to the BC hose and you're good to go.
To purge your reg when all done simply turn your tank off and press a pin into the tire inflator.
You'll have to use a standard car tire gauge to see the pressure of the tire. I don't think there's any way to connect a tire-pressure gauge to your system for when you're filling.

This is a very important point. If you still have a second stage connected, it acts as a relief and all is good. Otherwise without some form of pressure relief, when the first stage fails the LP hose will act as the pressure relief. Trust me, you do not want one to expload near you. It's very loud and you can get hurt. You can get OPVs for around $7.

Yes you can run an air gun. Needed to break off some seized lug nuts on a trailer, used 1/2" impact gun and it works fine. I have a old scubapro mark V that I hooked an airline too for filling tires and running air tools in remote spots.
My son uses an LP95 on his jeep tires all the time. Takes no time to get the tires fully inflated after he's dropped the pressure for a day of off-roading. He has the inflator that cascas showed in his post.
