I think they would go inside the bed. It's the only place I can think of that makes sense. The rear tailgate makes a little sense, but then you can't fold the tailgate down.

Hi, I've seen a M1008 that had jerry can mounting trays fixed to the top of the antenna mounting brackets. Top job and so simple too.

do the mounts just have a base with a strap over the top? "like an m715" or is there a different set up, maybe one that could be locked??

Hi Folks, After some searching of my computer I've managed to locate pics of the Jerry Can brackets attached to antenna mounts on a friend's (in USA) CUCV truck. I hope they help solve the dilemna for some of where to mount their Jerry Cans. The idea was not mine!!

Hi Folks, I'm having problems posting pics to the forum as I'm not too sure how to do it. I hope the links to the pics of the Jerry Can mounts work.

Jim, the photos came through fine. Thanks. I saw a truck sailing down the road a few weeks ago with jerry cans mounted on the sides, but couldn't tell how they did it. This might have been the answer. Great idea.

I'd suggest 2 antenna mounts side by side just to be sure 
For an M1009 I'd also mount it on the tailgate for less of a chance to whack it on something. For those of us who are Belt & Suspenders type maybe look into fabbing up a brace from the inside as well.

The anntenna install kits for the CUCV's have some reinforcment brackets that acutally attach to the inner panel and reach through holes drilled into it to support the outer skin of the vehicle. It might be a worth while addition due to the weight of a full can of fuel.

my can mounts to the troop seat sides. I'll have to post some better pics of it.
