Does anyone have the dimensions of the stowage box that I have seen on some M1A2 SEP's and M1A1's(of the 1-4CAV) serving in Iraq? I have seen
shots of it attached to the Bustle Rack or the BRE. Thanks in advance
for your help.

I don't have the dimensions, but...

It is a storage box from an M900 series 5-ton truck. They are found on the right side under the bed. They were bolted to the bustle racks of the tanks for added storage.

I scratchbuilt one for a M1A2 some time ago using a box from a Pro Art set as a template. The measurements for the box is 38mm x 16mm x 8mm.

It turned out like this
