Ms. Bigfoot was built in 1985, and was the last BIGFOOT vehicle to begin life as an actual factory production pickup truck.  The Ranger chassis was extensively modified to enable it to handle 48-inch tires and the stresses produced by a 571 cubic inch, 1,000 horsepower, supercharged aluminum Hemi engine.  This little truck was grossly overpowered.  The truck made its debut on July 4, 1985 at Jack Murphy Stadium in San Diego, California.  At the wheel the first time out was the monster truck sport's first woman driver, Marilyn Chandler.  In 1987, the truck received new graphics and paint and was renamed BIGFOOT Ranger.  In 1993 it made monster truck history for the last time when it became the first BIGFOOT truck ever sold for private, non-performing use.
