**N2TRUX** · 01-06-2007, 07:39 AM

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

krue · 01-06-2007, 07:44 AM

What's a doghouse (other than a house for a dog)?

84slopwaggin · 01-06-2007, 07:44 AM

? doghouse

**Palf70Step** · 01-06-2007, 09:58 AM

Front clip....hood, fenders(inner and outer), rad support

Curly86 · 01-06-2007, 10:43 AM

I though everybody knew it by a doghouse also came with a perfect bumper and grille and headlight bezels

motopatzo · 01-06-2007, 10:48 AM

First time I heard that term

whiskeydented · 01-06-2007, 03:09 PM

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

bowtiecb · 01-06-2007, 08:39 PM

we call them clips

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

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

SanitysBane · 01-06-2007, 11:20 PM

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

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.

68GMC454 · 01-07-2007, 06:44 AM

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

grinch4om · 01-07-2007, 09:29 AM

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.

Curly86 · 01-07-2007, 11:21 AM

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

67sub · 01-19-2007, 04:48 PM

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.

77 350 Shorty Wide · 01-19-2007, 08:14 PM

Hit a telephone pole and find out.

Hoods69BadBowTie · 01-19-2007, 10:47 PM

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.

Curly86 · 01-27-2007, 06:58 PM
