Still can't find them no matter how I change/arrange your discription:
"running board mounted expandable type luggage/can carrier"

How about a part number?

Would you really carry a can of gas on your running board???? Safety. Maybe just for looks.

I have some varieties of these if you wish. $25 each plus ship ride to you. I can package two together if you wish.

When I had my '58 Ford Pickup, and on long trips, I had a 5-gallon Gerry Can on each side. This was in the 1970's when fuel availability was uncertain.
