Hey thanks RuDeE

I did also make the 10' tires. Have yet to show the 10' one's (I prefer the 66" standard tires after all... has the nicest tread).

... and with all eight wheels.

Back onto the main body of the truck, I chromed out the border around the lettering.

Newest set of 48" tires. As seen in that Wikipedia photo from 2009...

Back to the beginnings... here's the 1974 model year of the Ford F-250, untouched. It's been made to look like a photo from the 1970's by Google Gemini, hence the Gemini logo in the lower-right corner. Model by me, of course.

Edit: I've re-attached the original image, as viewing it without an account when not an attachment was possible.

Since I began this project... I've learnt a whole lot about Bigfoot 1... It seems sometime in it's early days it was damaged, and at some point even stolen... luckily it was recovered!

I've always wondered why the current body on it (especially the fenders) looks so different than the original, 1974 body... I believe the current body on it is a 1979 Ford F-250, but don't quote me on that one...

I basically looked at Rep Fan's creation of Bigfoot 1, and re-created my own version of it, with the 640 (that's 10.5 liters!) big block.

Down below is a render with the two monster truck pioneers... the pride of Ford and Chevrolet, and the creation of Bob "Bigfoot" Chandler and Everett Jasmer.
