That's a smoking deal. Ever wonder why they call it a dog house...?

Re: Doghouse for 86 Silverado

Re: Doghouse for 86 Silverado
 

First time I heard that term:confused:

Re: Doghouse for 86 Silverado
 

I've always used the term dog house to refer to the removable hump over trannys in trucks, buses, and vans.

Re: Doghouse for 86 Silverado
 

we call them clips

Re: Doghouse for 86 Silverado
 

Look around where Krue and I live and you'll see how it got the name. Fine shelters for those huntin' and watchdawgs. :D

Re: Doghouse for 86 Silverado
 

Dog house? That is where I have to go when the wife is mad at me. :lol:

Re: Doghouse for 86 Silverado
 

I have always heard that called the clip. I guess its like the difference between a soda, soda pop, and soda water.

Re: Doghouse for 86 Silverado
 

And you would be correct in doing so. This guy is talking about the front clip. Whiskey is correct in that it is the cover/hump over the engine or tranny in big trucks (cab-overs) or busses and vans.

Re: Doghouse for 86 Silverado
 

ive always heard it as a clip,,dog house goes over the tranny unless in a van then covers the motor to..but they do make good dog houses...and you got a great steal on it

Re: Doghouse for 86 Silverado
 

it's a regional thing. I grew up in Maine and the front clip was always refered to as the doghouse. In Illinois where I lived it was the front clip.

:c2: Well it depends where you come from, do here in Southern Ky hillbilly country thats what we call it

Re: Doghouse for 86 Silverado
 

I've heard both of those, and my Dad calls those same pieces a telephone kit. I still haven't been able to figure out where that came from, but oh well.

Re: Doghouse for 86 Silverado
 

Hit a telephone pole and find out.

Re: Doghouse for 86 Silverado
 

LOL, yeah that sounds like a hella good deal to me. I have always heard of them as clips never a dog house before. Thats why I had to open the thread to see what the he// was going on. Thats cool though.
