The poor F250 became the testing ground for both Chandler's and Kramer's engineering experiments.
Passionate about off-roading, Chandler used his own garage and his neighbor, Jim Kramer, to create the Midwest 4 Wheel Drive Center, a place where they could repair the off-road battered pick-up truck. The monster truck and its use as we know it today were born in early 1970, when former construction manager Bob Chandler decided to buy a 1974 Ford F250 pick-up truck. The need to determine who has the biggest truck led to national or local competitions to settle the dispute. Their use in such competitions called for a higher-than-usual ground clearance, a factor which led to so called suspension lifted truck.Īs more and more lifted trucks came to be, human nature stepped in and the all-mighty " mine is bigger" war began. From that point, all the way to today's Monster Jam, the monster truck, as it is now known, has become the motorized version of a Wrestlemania wrestler.Īs we said, the monster truck began to take shape back in the 1970s, fueled by the increased interest in pick-up truck use for mud bogging and truck-pulling competitions. It was around that time when the American taste for pick-up trucks and their ability to do more than just carry people and load from place to place began to form. Since all automobile enthusiasts can't help drooling when hearing about huge engine power, enormous torque or big chunks of rubber ravishing the ground, putting all that into a single package was the logical step to make back in the '70s.
