tow pintle - new source
Attn owners and rebuilders of postwar Canadian trucks (1/4T, 3/4T, 1T, 5/4T, Iltis and maybe 2 1/2T). I have seen camo green Suburbans used by the commander of 1 Cdn Div. Anyone got this one?
One of the least civilian-compatible items on an SMP vehicle is the tow pintle hook. Commercially available trailers have a ball hitch, not a tow eye. Today while clearing the weeks' newspapers and fliers, I see that Princess Auto is listing "15 Ton Pintle Hook" #4200128, regular price $89.99, on sale next week $59.99. Save yourself the shipping and stock up on other useless cr@p that ends up in your shopping cart! I have no idea if the bolt configuration will match the SMP bumper. However, as I wrote above, this is one part that comes off as soon as a vehicle goes into civilian service/use.

Some caution needed........
They are basically distributing for the USA parent company.... as far as I know they do not have a Canadian inventory/warehouse full of parts in Concord.
I would check the individual part you are looking to by on the USA web site... and check the price mark up...... Some parts are plainly and proudly marked "Made in the USA".... a lot of others are blank. Some parts are NOS surplus some are Chinese knock off....such as the tail lights for the M series.... which might work very well for you...just be aware and careful of what you are buying. On the plus side they are convenient... and have a detailed catalogue. Bob C.

Yes i called the store/warehouse in BC and they have nothing...I have to call the place in Ontario then they order from the one in the states. I have yet to check prices of the master cyclinders and compare with those of Rockauto that Rob said was a good source and seem to be the best prices yet. there a few places i want to check in california that i will post as well when i find out more.

Here are the numbers I tried BC 604-882 2577 he'll tell you got to Omtario at 1-800-621-1553 when that doesn't work try 1-905 567-7100 you'll get a directory press 2 for parts then you'll get a really nice lady who sends you to Tim whos says we don't do that anymore out of Ontario you have to got to the states number. So you try the 18000 number there and it will not work so try the 1-847-584-2000 or simply just go to Willys acres at http://www.willysacres.com/parts.html cause that's where they'll send you LOL! good Luck
