Pioneer Tool Strap Method

[maskale]

Another question somewhat related. How do you guys strap the Jerry can. If I go through the footmans loop on the bed it pulls the can into the bed.

Was the original style riveted to the footman loop. If so, how was the can kept off the bed?

Right now I'm using a one piece strap and just bypassed the footmans loop for now.

I have an original one piece strap, and I loop it thru the footman loop. Otherwise I think the weight of the full gas can would droop the bracket.

I tried it the way u have it, using a similar strap. It's just loose. It can move around and still hit the bed. This was my idea using a tailgate puck. It's just set in there now for the picture but thinking of making it permanent.



It gives it a nice standoff and makes it very stable.

Not sure why you need the puck. Did you run the strap through both slots in the gas can holder? is your strap cotton or nylon? Mine have all been nice and tight.

My strap is nylon. I can't imagine needing it either, but nothing keeps the strap from pulling the can toward the bed. I did go through both slots in the holder and the strap is running under the holder not under the tank.

I don't know what they're called, but I see 3 (in the pics) upside-down mount brackets. One that the shovel handle is resting on top of, one by the wheel well, and one on the back corner/bed post. Can you tell me what those are for?
Thank!

Ahhhh...... I think I just (slowly) figured out my own answer. Those are for the canvas cargo top, huh?
I just bought my 67 this year, just got an engine put in and got it back. Converted to 12V. I'm the least mechanical person alive, but going to try to do as much of the small stuff I can myself. Love my truck, trying to figure these things out.

can anyone say the exact length of these straps? I've heard that they are two different size.

21" and 34" on repro from New Life Canvas.

I was looking at the pic ax install and was thinking the strap should also pull it back some instead of pulling it to the side. Here is what I came up with.
