From the early '80s

This clip is dedicated to the first four monster trucks...Bigfoot, USA-1, King Kong and Bearfoot. These are the originals, the very first over-sized trucks to make an impact on the world of motorsports. All clips are of these trucks in their original body styles. Set to both The Massed Band of the Royal Air Force's rendition of Aaron Copeland's "Fanfare for a Common Man" and Metallica's "For Whom The Bell Tolls", this is a throw back to the very early days of monster trucks.

On April 9, 1983, Bob Chandler brought the Bigfoot #2 truck to a truck & tractor pull event in the Pontiac Silverdome, for what is commonly recognized as the first public car crush, in front of a crowd of approximately 68,000 people.
