It's true: there really is nothing sacred. In a move that, for us, is on the same level as painting a Hitler mustache on the Statue of Liberty, Bigfoot has abandoned its Ford pickup body for a new Chevrolet Silverado skin. If you listen very, very closely, there are angels in cutoff jean shorts and camouflage hats weeping softly. We know it would hurt less if we told you that George Washington was a closet communist or that Porsche was switching to an all front-wheel drive portfolio, but there it is. For 35 years, Bigfoot was synonymous with the Blue Oval, but no more.

The truck helped launch monster trucks into the public eye, but Ford dropped its sponsorship of the team in 2007. That left Firestone tires as the main sponsor, and since the company also throws plenty of cash at the Major League Baseball All-Star Game, it's aching for some cross-promotion. Since Chevrolet also sponsors the event, Big Foot will be wearing new duds and a heart transplant when it rolls out for the first time in public on July 7 in Anaheim, Florida. Yup, the truck will get its power from a General Motors mill, too. *Sigh.*

from what i read about this, it is only a one time deal. could be wrong though.
 
yep, I saw this a few days ago. What a bunch of crap. Also found out my wife had NEVER heard of Bigfoot!

Big foot is huge, dark blue metal flake and a Ford. That thing isn't Bigfoot at all...

i think the internet just kicked me in the balls with such horrible news
 
It sucks that Ford pulled the sponsorship but really, was there anything "ford truck" left in bigfoot besides a rough shape on the one piece fiberglass body?
