I really like the military water cans, tough and easy to use. Bought a spigot for mine to use at camp. I was also able to procure a harder to obtain 'fuel' version, all of them in desert tan. My truck's era, did not offer OEM bed rails, so to secure items like fuel and water (military style), I constructed a base and backboard frame, for which I attached Jerry can base units to. This allows easy access and removal when not needed. Instead of trying to secure in the bed the individual containers, I use a web strap to snug down each container in it's base. I then brace the dual or triple unit using 2 cargo bed load locks. 1 of them bracing on the pickups bed side, and the other over them to secure in the bed. This TRIPLE LOCKS them in place, while not installing a permanent mount. It keeps them more secure, also minimizes rattles. This arrangement allows a choice of more fuel or water, depending on need. I built a 2 can and a 3 can version, for a total of 5. It has worked well, and not allowed 'play' by using web straps on the cans themselves, rather than metal bracing. I also use camper shell C-clamps with mounting rings to use straps over what ever i am transporting in the bed if needed,Welded up and painted reciever for my bumper, threw on some S2 scene lights

Nice. Thumbs up. That takes guts. You probably felt underwater.Got the snorkel installed. It was a pain…
Added a interior light. I guess Ford didn't think it was a good idea. LOL Finally finished the panel. I know, not that again. Last time you saw it I went into a coma trying to find a short to ground.
