I'd just lay them flat on their side and strap them down.

but for more than just a couple cans, I carry them like this:

Great looking trucks, and this is why I decided to do the same evendough I only carry 2 5 gallon Nato cans I made a small bracket for them and I can drive in the sandy trails at speeds of 40 to 50 miles per hour make some sharp turns and no problems.

I have had good luck using a plastic marine fuel can. It is 6.5 gal the opening is on the top and I put a long enough hose and a bulb syphon on it so that I do not have to take it down to top off mine or anybody elses.

X2 This is the way I would go (if I needed more fuel). They even come with a pressure release valve, indents for straps, hose w/ on off valve, many different sizes, and maybe even baffles, and best part....never hump a full can around!

This is my system as well. They are lower profile than most cans and a syphon hose makes them easy to use.
