I'm looking for a box thats used to put your BII into or store gear in. Its about 5-6 foot long and I guess about 1 1/2 to 2ft wide. We had them mounted to the top of the MLRS unit I was in and also fitted to the top of our Mant. M113 in the Infantry Batt. I was in. I'm looking for either measurements or an aftermarket set that might have this box in it.

SEDemmick,
Like the box I have on the back of my FIST-V below? I built it from sheet plastic. I don't have exact dimensions, but eyeballed it based on the back of the M113 and the one that was on my FIST-V in the motor pool at the time. It wasn't difficult, you should be able to make one pretty easily.

There's such a box included in AEF Designs sets for OIF M113 (#KA 43 or KA 42). It's 4 cm long, 1,2 cm wide and 0, 85 cm high (sorry for the non-US unit of measure - I'm French )
I agree with Gino : it should be easily scratchbuilt (But sometimesI feel lazy...)

Here's the link to the sets I'm talking about :

The box on your pic does closely resemble the one included in these sets
