According to this thread on Monster Mayhem , Thunder Beast was one of the first monster trucks and was running 66″ tires when Bigfoot was only running 44’s. Both that thread and the Thunder Beast website mention that the current owner, Jeff Strand from Kalispell, MT, saw the truck when he was young and instantly fell in love with it. Eventually, he was able to purchase the Thunder Beast truck. Follow along as he transforms the truck with his own creative style. You have to love the chrome shocks! The truck was rebuilt a few times from 1987 to 1990, then was taken on the road.
