What’s so amazing is that most of these trucks not only still extort but still run and drive and they take them to shows. They pass through my town whenever they’re headed any place north of St. Louis. Their driver stops at this tiny ancient gas station in my town to get snacks and stuff for the road and I’ve talked to him several times recently. Those guys on that crew are all the best of the best.

I can remember I was at a Indiana 4x4 jamboree in 84-85 and Bob ran the bog with Foot. As the truck came to a stop about mid way through the pit he just kept it hammered and as water and steam poured out of the front of Foot, Ron Bachmann stood there on the side line pointing at the engine , he kept pointing and pointing and Bob would look over at him and was like, I’m gonna run it til it blows Ron! It never did blow, but that has been stuck in my mind my whole life, I’ll never forget it. Ron was a good man. RIP Ron.

I know the monster trucks today are 100 times faster and can jump higher and do back flips, but they took a lot of the meaning of monster truck out, like mud bogging and real car crushing. Now they have dirt ramps on both sides of the cars. So it makes it so much easier to go across. I can remember when some of the trucks had a hard time climbing a mountain of cars and only the drivers that had no fear and plenty of power hit the cars hard and smashed them. Big Foot started it all and is still the King.

It had a blown 460 at one point. I don't know the horsepower but it wasn't enough power. In BIGFOOT #1 sits a blown 640 with nitrous installed. I think the blown 640 made around 1,000 hp without nitrous. The 640 Ford had hemispherical heads as well. That was some serious engineering for being over 40 years old. The 640 was an Alan Root Ford engine.

The first Bigfoot is a 1974 Ford F-250. With a Blown (BDS 8-71 blower) 640ci engine. C-6 Auto trans and 5 ton military axles. Height is 10.5 feet. And weighing 11,000 lbs Bigfoot #5 is a 1996 Ford powered by a 460ci engine. With a C-6 Auto trans. 5 ton military axles. 10 foot tall (120 inches) tires. Overall height is 15.5 feet. Weight: 28,000lbs (38,000lbs with the dual tires all around). This was also the truck that won the Guinness World Record for tallest, widest and heaviest pickup in the world.

Love that they still used stock steel bodies on these trucks, unlike the cartoon fiberglass stuff today. Also the 80's Bigfoot with the huge tires is still my favorite monster truck. You really don't get a sense of scale until you've walked under one of them, made quite an impression on my 8 year old self in the early 90's. I think those tires came off of some sort of weird arctic exploration vehicle, they were built exclusively for that purpose. The Bigfoot team saw those tires, bought them, built the truck around them.
