Running Board Cans

Post by Mark Osterman » Fri Feb 12, 2021 9:17 am

I just bought this Bear Brand running board oil can on eBay. Of course now I’m on the hunt for the other two. I’ve seen lots of the Boyco cans but does anyone out there have a complete set of these Bear Brand? Would like to see the bracket that holds them together. And naturally I would like to hear from anyone who has extras.

It may be easier to make a carrier than to find one. If that turns out to be the case, wait until you have the set, then make it to fit.
The inevitable often happens.

Yup, I plan on waiting until I have assembled the set to make the carrier. Have seen an enclosed Bear Brand running board box for the cans. When we can finally get back to Hershey it will be a hunt for me to find the other cans, or keep my eye out on eBay and the forum.
