Years ago I purchased a C15 Cab 13 4x2, Blitz from G P Motors in Bairnsdale that had been their tow truck for many many years and it was fitted with the same pintle hitch, spring and brackets. It was fitted with that hitch from new, so that is your answer. I am looking for a photo of it, but with 1,000's of photos to go through, it might take me a while. Cheers Rick.

I have never seen one of these hooks in the UK in 50 years of playing with MVs so possibly it is an Australian LP design ? It is certainly not as heavy duty as the standard British style though.

I've also had a message from a member, who has said they have the style fitted to a Chev Truck, so along with my memory of a post showing one fitted to an Australian Marmon-Herrington LP Tractor, I think we will go with Dave Herbert's suggestion that this is an Australian Local Pattern of Pintle Hook.
