Looking great so far. I may have to steal this idea and build one with the 1/32 wheels. I have five sets of Bigfoot decals if you still need one. They look like two different styles so tell which ones ya need by number and I’ll send them to you. One set says Powered by Ford 640, the other just says 460 powered and the trucks that go on the bed are different.

Thank You. I would go every year to the TNT Winter Nationals at the Garret Coliseum in Montgomery AL to watch Bigfoot in early 80’s.

Just got this in the mail today. I will use the body for a The last leaf sprung Bigfoot and then the chassis will be for a ‘79 body style stadium truck. Gonna be some work to finish those two.

Nice build. Can it be built without the top as a regular pickup and is the bed pre-cut to allow for the windows? Would be fun to convert to a 4x4 using a first gen bronco kit.

Wow it has been a minute since I’ve been on but I have finally completed what I call Bigfoot 1 and 2. The last photo is still my work in progress Bigfoot 3. I may try to build a ‘93-‘96 body style with leaf springs. That body style was used when Bigfoot converted to the coilover stadium trucks of today as well.

THat looks awesome. I do believe this will be a future build.

I will definitely be watching this. I have both kits and have thought about doing the same thing.

You can get the chrome grille from this kitor a molded in black grille from this kitI’ve built these kits waaaaaaaay back when and they are long gone but had the grilles in a parts box.

This is the ‘79 chassis ‘79 side view and front will call this the ‘84 chassis’84 side viewand frontbodies only have first coat of paint but wanted to see how they were going to look. The chassis are done. That looks flipp’n awesome. Hope mine turns out as good.

That looks awesome. It’s like a smooth looking styleside. I have an old bootlegger kit and I am going to try this. Awesome job on this.

Trying to make me a flip nose ‘79 Bigfoot and a ‘80-‘86 Bigfoot, which they never made a scale model for, out of a Super Stones F350, ‘89 Bigfoot model and the USA-1 model kit. I was surprised to find that the USA-1 kit actually has the fender flares needed for the ‘79 Bigfoot. The ‘79 will be using the box stock engine, frame and suspension which is the same from the Original Bigfoot kit. The body from the Super Stones kit and will find some way to flip the nose. For the ‘80-‘86 Bigfoot I used the frame and suspension from the USA-1 kit, engine block and headers from a Ford stock car kit, transmission from the ‘92 body style Bigfoot. Front clip, hood and grill from the Ford F-150 “Night Rider” kit. This is all I have done now. I’m hoping by posting this it will keep me moving on finishing them and not get side tracked on other projects. The last two pics are of a mixed together, kinda pre-Bigfoot, ‘76 Bigfoot and a Meng F350 built to look like an ‘06 F250 I used to own. If anyone else has some Bigfoot models I would like to see those as well I’ve been a Bigfoot fan since Noah was a deck hand. Enjoy the pics and hope to hear some feed back.

Box stock General nothing fancy.

Thanks It's the tires that come with the kit. Thanks.

This is a build of a bronco my dad used to own when I was a kid. His was actually a '74 but since I didn't want to cut and reset the air filter I'm just going to label it a '71 for the year I was born. Yea it's missing the side mirror and license plate bracket but it's close enough to finished.

Just want say hey and that I've been looking through the forum about a week now. There is a lot of awesome builds on this site. I have been building models on and off for roughly 35 yrs and hope to gather a mess more knowledge from all of ya'll.
