We’re about taking iconic vehicles – the ones that sparked imaginations – and bringing them back to life, but better. We don’t just restore; we reimagine. And “Bigfoot” is our most ambitious project yet. A Legend Reborn: The Story Behind “Bigfoot” For those who don’t know, “Bigfoot” is the original monster truck. Back in the early 70s, Bob Chandler had a vision – to take a Ford F-250 and give it massive tires and a lifted suspension. He wanted something that could crush cars, jump obstacles, and just generally be…well, monstrous! It was a radical idea at the time, and it completely changed the world of motorsports and automotive culture. The original "Bigfoot" went through several iterations, but the 1974 F-250 is arguably the most iconic. It’s the one most people picture when they think of the truck that started it all. And that’s precisely the vehicle AO STUDIOS has chosen to recreate. What Makes This “Bigfoot” Special? AO STUDIOS hasn’t just built a copy of the original. We’ve taken everything we’ve learned from years of experience and modern technology to create a "Bigfoot" that’s more reliable, more powerful, and more fun to drive. Here's what sets our version apart: Authentic Chassis & Body: We started with a genuine 1974 Ford F-250 chassis and body. Yes, that’s right – this isn’t a fiberglass kit car. It's a real deal Ford truck, ensuring authenticity and build quality. The body has been meticulously restored and reinforced to handle the stresses of monster truck life. Modern Powertrain: Forget the original’s somewhat temperamental engine. Our "Bigfoot" boasts a modern, fuel-injected engine – a powerful 6.7L Power Stroke diesel – delivering massive torque and rock-solid reliability. We’re talking about serious pulling power and the ability to conquer any terrain. Upgraded Suspension & Steering: The original suspension was…primitive, to say the least. We've replaced it with a custom-designed, heavy-duty suspension system that provides a smooth ride and incredible articulation. The steering has also been upgraded for improved control and responsiveness. Massive Tires & Custom Wheels: Of course, no "Bigfoot" replica would be complete without those enormous tires! We're using 66-inch Super Swamper tires mounted on custom-built wheels designed to handle the extreme loads. Safety First: We’ve incorporated modern safety features, including a robust roll cage, racing seats with five-point harnesses, and upgraded brakes, to ensure the driver and passengers are protected. Attention to Detail: We've painstakingly recreated the original "Bigfoot" graphics and paint scheme, using authentic colors and materials. We wanted it to look exactly like the truck you remember, but with a modern, high-quality finish. Custom Fabrication: A lot of the parts on this build are one-offs. Our in-house fabrication team has spent countless hours designing and building custom components to ensure everything fits and functions perfectly. More Than Just a Showpiece While our "Bigfoot" is undeniably a stunning showpiece, it’s also built to be driven. We’ve made sure it’s comfortable, reliable, and capable of handling everything from leisurely cruises to off-road adventures. We’ve even had it tested on a purpose-built obstacle course to ensure it lives up to the "Bigfoot" legacy. Who is This Truck For? This isn’t a truck for everyone. It’s for the serious automotive enthusiast, the collector who appreciates quality and craftsmanship, and the fan who grew up watching “Bigfoot” crush cars. It’s a statement piece, a conversation starter, and a rolling piece of automotive history.
