GMV Radio Doghouse Dimensions?

Post by Falldownjaeger » Fri Feb 09, 2018 11:49 am

Would somebody happen to know the dims for the GMV Radio Doghouse? Or an NSN/Part #? I want to see if the GMV Doghouse is the same part used in the M1081 War Pigs

Are you talking about the engine dog house cover or the radio tray/shelves?
All non turbo dog house covers are the same. Turbo engine covers are different.
There are several types if radio trays but typically they are all similiar.

And, I am not a fan of having a gun on the dash pointing at me when I grab the steering wheel to pull myself in. Is that a bungee strap from the ceiling holding it in place?
I can't make out what kind of MRE is by the seat.
Is that a micro cassette recorder in a leather case hanging above Isaac's photo?

I hope that MRE is not one of the Chicken Dinners!

That gun is a british Sterling MP. Strange sight in a U.S. GMV.....

Then again, that Sterling MP was used to make those Stormtrooper Blasters for Star Wars. So maybe the driver of that truck, besides being a fan of "The Love Boat", was also a fan of "Star Wars"..... :D

Like Ted said .
When you use the word dog house most relate that to the engine cover.
Most variant's of the HMMWV all use radio trays that are basically open shelves in different configurations.
The 2nd picture you show kind of looks more like a modified radio tray .
Maybe a FMTV radio cabinet or something out of a 5 ton truck is more of what your looking for.

I believe he is talking about the box that is mounted on the top shelf of the radio tray in pic #1. I also am doing research on it trying to find out the nsn# for it. Once I find out I will get back to you.

And I wondered how many others would notice the Love Boat bartender photo. I guess that question got answered. Too funny.

A member can identify an obscure pic buried in a war zone pic but we can't find the NSN for the radio housing? lol

These pics were sent to me by another vendor. You can see this one is different, still has the gov't label but I couldn't get the dimensions or a pic of the label from the vendor. I don't see how this one would attach to the radio shelf without welding or drilling for additional hardware.

I just measured a US Coca-Cola 12 pack sideways, on the AM-7239B top shelf, I get 11" to the bottom of the plate. Seeing how the SatCom/PRC-117 RMT-2 Mount is 10.25" wide and needs to fit between the corner radii, the inside dim should be 11.5"-11.75", if that local economy canned drink (0,33l cans?) is the same width as the CONUS cans. The below War Pig model kit shows a truck assigned to the SF Company Commander, assuming only his had the SatCom PSC-5C installed. The SatCom is mounted to an RMT-2 Mount, bolted to the radio housing sidewall, RMT-2 being 10.25" wide.

The round caps on the tan box bolted on driver's side in the GMV pic are for 12v, 24v and USB adapters, which can be found on ebay. That power adapter box can be folded by most any local sheetmetal shop, then you can install a $20 12v and 24v transformer inside then install whatever combination of extra power sockets you may need for your particular GPS, iPad, etc.
