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 ...

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 ...

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

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

... and with all eight wheels.

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).

Here on some unknown mountain... tackling the elements.

The Pride of Ford.

A little bonus... the truck from Herbie Fully Loaded. A real nice leaf spring monster truck, a true old school monster. I read this truck earlier was called AM/PM Boss.

I actually got Monster Truck Madness to work in 2160p 4k (native resolution of my current monitor, 3840x2160) and it works in hardware mode. The settings for windowing are completely different than the default, so I will share them below.

The main problem is that I need to switch fullscreen mode ...

... and also a screenshot from Tracked2 in Windows 11

@Kmaster, no problems here. Running it through DosBox in Linux Mint, along with Monster Truck Madness 1 & 2

Inspired by the cover to the old 1987 VHS "The Living Legend - Bigfoot 4x4x4"

The 640 cubic inch (10.5 liters) engine.

Side line added. More chrome as well.

Rollbar added.

So I got the movie Road House in the mail today... and so my interest in monster trucks sparked into life again.

More on the hood.

After quite a while, I'm back onto modeling some on this. As I may have noted in the past, I'm basically modeling when I get into Monster Truck Madness 1 & 2 again

Next up is probably the doors.

And so now the interior is slowly taking shape...
