Pure Americana. Just a dude who loved off-roading obsessed with putting bigger and bigger tires on his truck. Named it Bigfoot. Drove over a couple of cars and taped it for fun.
Fast forward to BIGFOOT performing at the Pontiac Silverdome in 1983 in 72,000 people and flashing cameras. History was made.
My dad’s uncle had built a truck up like the original one by the mid ’90s. He had a farm along a river, including land on an island in the river, and could ford the river in his truck to reach the island (he could do the same in a tractor).
