tow pintle - new source

[maple_leaf_eh]

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.
