I've probably spelled their name wrong, but I'm talking about the 5 gallon gasoline containers the military used to strap to the back of a jeep during World War II? Anyone know of any sources (local or Web?) Thanks. I'd prefer local because of shipping costs, but not much in the way of Army/Navy stores around here. 'Gotta Home Depot, a Walmart , a Sam's and a Sears. That's about it. Thanks!

If you have a Quality farm and Fleet, Town and Country, or Country tractor( Idon't know on this last one, but it IS "CT") Try them.

Sportsmans Guide and Cheaper than Dirt both have them as well.

Check out the ads in the off-road & 4-wheel drive magazines that are aimed at the JEEP owners. They sell real metal Jerry cans and carriers, not the lightweight metal or plastic ones that are most common these days.
