    Look in TM 9-8014 , page 302, Figure 171.

   Just getting the length will not mean you will get the correct shovel. Shovels have different "pitch" of the blade (pointy end) and the pitch will determine if the shovel will fit in the under hood brackets. Shovels of the proper length but with different pitch may not fit while another of the correct pitch but the same length will.

The shovels used on the current MV's such as the HUMMER will usually fit.

   The G 758 ORD 7 lists all the on board tools and will give you the Govt. stock numbers for them. I don't think it lists the lengths though.

Hope this helps............
