Item History & Price
Reference Number: Avaluer:716723 |
Jerry Can MOUNT -- BRACKET -- HOLDER -- CRADLE for a "Five Gallon Liquid Container"
Stamped with the Fed Stock #: "42-B-22590" -- I scraped the top layer of paint with a razor to help reveal all the numbers.
Six bottom holes - four small, two large
Four recessed side mounting holes plus one extra hole (not sure what it's for or if it's original to the mount)
Heavy steel with the classic WW2 construction pattern - the bottom side wings fol...d under the base and are only visible on the bottom.
Reinforced strap openings (no strap tho)
Original OD paint is visible under the badly peeling top layer of darker green
Some areas of surface rust but very minor and do not affect overall integrity in any way. This thing is heavy and stout for its intended purpose. Easy enough to wire wheel strip and/or sand . .then repaint to restore. . . .or leave as is.
For the 5 gallon gas, water or diesel cans -- jeep, halftrack, weapons carrier, medical, generator, etc
The mount is in a shipping box 16 x 10 x 8" . . .and weighs 8 pounds as packaged
