Same event; mud run portion.
Bigfoot #1;    Bob Chandler finished the run, then turned around and drove back through it.    Bigfoot #2     Jim Kramer finished the run, then backed #2 through it.   Other trucks, like Cyclops, were getting stuck and had to be winched out, so Bigfoot made more of an impression doing this. |

Same location, but this one happened before the one above. This was the first time that #1 + #2 appeared together in St. Louis. In the last pics, they were setting up to pull a car apart. (A Bigfoot strapped to each end).

This is in the early 80s, at Jamestown Mall. It was just down the road from the Bigfoot shop, so Bob drove it down N Lindbergh for the Jerry Lewis Telethon that was being held there. My brother took pics of the truck, and me posing with it, but saved one shot on his film roll. When Bob left, we followed him back to his shop (the old Quonset Hut building), and when he got out to unlock the door I asked if I could sit in it for a pic. He said something like *Sure, climb on up.* We got the pic, but since it was the last one it got the developers tag on it.
 Still one of my favorite pics ever.  Oh, and it's definitely Bigfoot #2. They threw the plates from Bigfoot 1 on there, because he needed a plate to drive on the road, but it's #2.            Bob Chandler, being interviewed on live TV         They had the Bigfoot Hauler there, with merchandise for sale.   Cropped it;  |

Bigfoot #10 at a cancer fundraiser, with my late wife and our son. He doesn't like his pic being posted (he's in IT now), so I blur him a bit.

Bigfoot hauler that I spotted at a truck stop, just a few miles from where I lived at the time.
 2011, at the shop.   The truck on the left is a clone of Bigfoot #1, that somebody hired them to build.   That tailgate right in front, is the one I went back the next month and bought.       |

2016. My son and I stopped in Pacific, at the new Bigfoot shop, during a trip to St. Louis for Monster Jam.
Bigfoot #5. The display cab, that was made so people can sit in it for pics, is the original body parts from Bigfoot #4.        |

2009, in Eureka. Toys For Tots at Walmart.
We stopped there on our way to church.          Jim Kramer let my son sit in it.   I liked getting my truck and my son in the pics,.        |

I have the roof from Bigfoot #20, the tailgate from Bigfoot #14, and a piston from one of the engines.
  That's about it, other than t-shirts, posters, die cast...

Quote HistoryQuoted: @bird333 I'm guessing that you're talking about the tires on Bigfoot 5. They're from an Alaskan Land Train, and Bigfoot bought them from a junk yard.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcnDGH6KEZ4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LY7POsN4np4@67Firebird No actually I was talking about the tires in most of the pictures you posted. The wider tires. |

The wider tires. Oh; Combines, spreaders, etc. They originally used the same Ag tires, but the Monster Truck industry has gotten so big that companies make tires specifically for them now. Monster Jam uses BKT, and Bigfoot uses Firestone. (They originally used Goodyear, but Firestone sponsors them now).  Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Was that at the superdome? I have a book of pictures from the mid 80' of a monster truck show there when I was a kid. The old Busch Stadium, in St. Louis, MO. The only place I've seen Bigfoot outside of Missouri is just barely into Illinois, at Gateway Int Raceway. (The outside track pics I posted). |
