The birth of Monster Trucks was in 1975, when a construction contractor from the Chandler family used their family’s 1974 Ford F-250 four-wheel-drive pick up, and converted it into a monster stuck. The conversions were inspired by the US Army, and the result was a new innovation in automotive technology — the “4x4x4,” or a vehicle with four wheels, four-wheel-drive, and four-wheel-steering. In 1979 the monster truck started making appearances at truck and tractor pulls, and car shows to show off its many capabilities. Bigfoot received sponsorship from Ford for 24 years, up until 2007.
Nowadays these trucks are a huge sport in the US, and they perform all kinds of tricks.
