I have been searching everywhere, and can't find exactly what I am looking for.

I plan to have a canvas cover made for my trailer, with grommets, and attach it to my trailer much like you would on a military trailer - alternating grommet on canvas to hook on trailer.

What I cannot find is any suitable hooks. I can find plenty of hooks meant to be used in a home, that are stainless steel or nicely finished, but they are all at least $7-$10 a piece.

Does anyone know where I can get some plain, unfinished steel hooks that would be suitable for this use?

No idea if they have them, but try austinhardware.com
Another would be mcmaster.com
and possibly grainger.com, but I think that might be reaching a bit.

I found my hooks at ebay- search under military trailers/ jeep trailers etc
dont overlook the ebay stores, they too may have some that will work-
mine are the removable kind and I attached them to my trailer lid-pictures coming soon!

These are the hooks used on the M101CDN2 1/4 ton, and also on some of the larger US trailers.
