Along with Sullivan Tire’s anniversary, this year marks the 50th anniversary of the creation of the original Bigfoot by Bob Chandler, who modified a 1974 Ford F-250 four-wheel-drive pickup truck beginning in 1975. By 1979, the modifications were so extensive, the truck came to be regarded as the first monster truck. Sponsored by Firestone, today’s Bigfoot is the latest generation of this legendary vehicle.
In addition to Brentwood, Bigfoot will also appear at Sullivan Tire’s locations at 369 Amherst Street in Nashua on August 16 and at 2909 Lafayette Road in Portsmouth on August 23.
