On what kind of truck? M107x or M108x? I have one mounted on my M1088 on the drivers side and a small tool box too. Since the ladder on my particular truck is on the right and I have to climb up to the center of the truck - the mounting doesn't get in the way.
Somewhat crummy picture in the dark is below...
1083.

Seems like on the steel part of the mud flap is the best plan like @simp5782 suggested is the best plan for the 1083.

A standard jerry can holder bolts perfectly on top of the air hyd pump.

^What he said
There are actually pre-drilled holes for a jerry can mount next to the stack behind the driver-side of the cab. It's actually for a decontamination can (which has the same mount/dimensions of a fuel jerry can). I've never really looked to see if it's structurally sound for the weight of a fully fueled can (best I can tell, the decon can is about half full of liquid and the rest is brushes and scrubbers).
I intend to make it viable if it isn't (add whatever support if needed). It's a good place to hide a can of water or fuel I guess, (opposed to being stranded after finding an empty tank one morning). Because, crime and stuff...

Yep best place. Water on mud flap not fuel in case of accident no fuel spill. I do not know about everywhere but Fl. if you caused the accident you pay for the clean up and just guessing fuel spill clean up is $$$. Not my fault so I did not have to pay and no fuel spill still clean up to the other guy $1000.00.

Broken left femur, left hand nerve damage and right eye loss of some sight. Yea no fun there just glad it was a company truck that hit me and had 300k insurance. Bad was it was my new truck with little mileage good was I had gap insurance and truck got paid off by the insurance.
Glad you escaped without more serious injuries.
