Wanted: M151A2 Parts

[elvis3006]

Can anyone recommend a dealer in Canada or USA that ships spare M151 parts. Thank you. Rob

[Grant Bowker]

I have no experience buying from them but chatting at MV show they seen interested in hobby, not just profit...

2 more decent guys...
Brian Asbury may have some parts.
Likewise Ralph Journeay (sp?)


Needless to say, Google comes up with an armload of results...

My '74 is being rebuilt by Dave who is a heavy truck fabricator. This is now its second rebuild. The rotten body panels were replaced with flat sheet metal and specialized replacement panels from Guy Loomis at Cameron Fabrications in upstate NY.

I was wondering what to do about one panel which wasn't showing on the English website, so I called Guy. 'Oh! Yeah! That piece was one we build for our German distributor, and just haven't gotten it on the US website. Would you like one?' 'Yes I do, please' 'Right we'll make you one tomorrow or Thursday.'

Guy has the best interests of the M151 hobby at heart. I steer everyone I know who has one towards him. The shipping route was to the UPS store in Ogdensburg, NY where I drove down to take possession. The Canada Customs experience was relatively simple, and much less pricey than a broker or foreign shipping.

Thank you, do you know if they ship parts to Canada ? Some places I checked Stateside say they do not export.

[Grant Bowker]

Brian and Ralph are in Canada.


This quote: "It is the buyer’s responsibility to meet any and all current export laws and requirements. Certain items do require authorization from the US Commerce Department prior to exporting. We can apply for an export license at no extra charge" from TNJ Murray's website confirms there are limits to what they can/will export but does read as if they are willing to export within US Government limitations. It can't hurt to send them an email to ask if the parts you want are eligible for export...


If you aren't a member of MVPA, you may want to check their sample publications page to see if it gives more vendors...

My experience with TNJ Murray has so far been unimpressive. This summer I called and messaged, he called back at suppertime, I gave him the order from memory and he didn't write things down. I followed up with the complete list by email, but the order was short shipped. And, there was no invoice in the box! I had to scramble to get him to email a *.pdf of the invoice so I could pay GST. Thankfully no duty on auto parts between Canada and US. I've been asking for one last part since the summer. All promises and no reaction. I sourced a 2nd best alternative part on Amazon. No more M151A2 parts orders to TNJ Murray from me.

Have you tried John Bizal at Midwest Military?

[elvis3006]

Thank you Terry for the warning regarding TNJ. John Bizal I dealt with him in the past for WC51 parts, didn't know he also had M151 parts. Thank you
