Rocky - the tires are standard 6.00 - 16 NDTs. Coker sells them - $129 each.

Another update from Doc: I took the Mite out for a ride around in the back yard. Checked out the shifting and the clutch. 6 laps around the trees. I had to sweep the garage floor so I thought I would take the Mite out for some air.

You'll survive, Steve! Your engineering skills are impeccable, and I know that you built your beast to handle some serious abuse! :-)

Thanks for joining us, twisted60!! :-)

Just curious, acesneights1. Do you have a Class III hitch on your M1008? If so, can you rent a UHAUL trailer or tow dolly and load up the M1009?

I'm organizing an entry into the Orlando Veterans Day Parade. Here's the thread: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?158330-Sat-11-12-16-Downtown-Orlando-FL-Orlando-Veterans-Day-Parade&highlight= If you'd like to be in the parade, please RSVP on that thread or send me a PM. Please don't...

Frame number 556 on front drivers frame rail. Body number 327 on corner of firewall near high beam switch.

From Doc: I used the second shifter top that you had. The one on the Mite had sticky plunger springs and had some extra holes drilled in to it. Still usable but the extra one that you had was a little better. It had me scratching my head on a problem. I found a reverse slide rail pin had been...

Doc is at it again. I wish I had his impeccable fabrication skills. The body panel on the drivers side at the firewall was loose at the body side and broken at the frame mount. I made a new right angle bracket and some rivets at the floor. It won't be flapping in the breeze now.

I'm glad you can make it, Tow4! :-)

I've never seen a Blazer with the full fiberglass top. I'm glad you rescued it and posted pictures. I learned something new today!! :-)

Mad Hatter - I'm glad you can make it to the parade!! :-) I don't have a banner. In order to have one made, I would have to receive permission from the owner of Steel Soldiers. I also don't have the extra cash to order one. Great idea, though. :-)

Please join me for the Orlando Veterans Day Parade on Saturday November 12, 2016. The parade is televised live on Bright House News Channel 13. The parade starts at 11 AM. Last year, the parade began at the corner of Orange Ave and Robinson Street. I assume the starting location will be the same...

Your truck looks really awesome sitting on those monster singles!!! :-) [thumbzup]

Think of it this way, Valence. The couple extra pennies you shelled out already will assist Drew with migrating the servers to another host. Sign up for two more years. The extra $20 is well worth it!! :-)

I just renewed my premium membership for another two years. Now it expires on 5/13/2020!!! I appreciate all of the hard work that goes in to keeping Steel Soldiers rolling. :-) [thumbzup]

I feel compelled to share a few words of wisdom with you. Choose the vehicle that you AND your family will enjoy together. If ya'll like the truck, y'all are going to want to take it out to the grocery store, make ice cream runs in it, pour money into it for upgrades, etc. If you are the only...

Before and after photos. Too worn to repair. Being so close to the motor makes the wires brittle, so I made a new harness. The temp sensor is okay so you should have some lights now. :-)

Another note from Doc: There are three fuel lines in the Mite. I replaced the center one. It's about 2 feet long. The front line looks like it's been replaced at one time and still looks good. It's about 3 or 4 feet long. the rear, which is about 1.5 feet looks okay. It attaches to the top of...
