Misc. WW2 stuff for the back of a Jeep

So I've got a few packs and rolled tarps and crates to drop in the back of a 1:35 Willys MB I have on deck. But I'm having trouble finding ammo cans for the M1919. And I'd really love to stick some other miscellaneous stuff back there too: a bucket, a liquor bottle or two, field mess kit, SCR-536, maybe a C rations box or canteen cup.
Where do you gents go to buy these random, small detail parts?

I've ended up with a small stash of these things from sets I've picked up along the way.
Tamiya & Valuegear both do Stowage sets:
Here's a link to
Valuegear
and here's
Tamiya
Miniart are good for bottles and general crates & barrels.
If you search for "1/35 stowage" it should set you in the right direction.

Yea, when I was still building as a teen I had a tackle box full of unused parts and scraps from several years of kits.
The Value Gear stuff looks fantastic. But it just looks a bit too neat for the look I'm trying to achieve. Great for a cargo truck from logistics where they have to pack neat to utilize the space in the most efficient manner. Not so much the rear of a Jeep where line troops are likely to just toss kit in to head down the back to Bn HQ. I might pick up the Tamiya kit and maybe the US infantry equipment and Jerry Can kits as well.
Thanks for the links Neil!

My thanks sir, it looks like there are a number of good possibilities there.
I found a few good items at Legend Productions as well. The only problem with most of the after market stuff is the wait for international shipping. I have a few kits just sitting that I can't touch because I don't have the parts I need yet.
