A bit of info on those trucks, it was a special package that Ford collaborated with another company to release in 1987 as a tribute to the Bigfoot monster truck. Only about 300 were produced, and one of the trucks rolled over due to the aluminum wheels softening and the lug nuts coming off, and the owner of that truck filed a lawsuit and a lot of them were recalled. The recalled trucks were stripped of the decals, aluminum wheels, and roll bars (and optional front and rear Westin bumpers if it had them) and sold as regular trucks. They are extremely hard to find, we’ve owned 4 of them. The rims on that model are definitely incorrect, the trucks originally had an American Racing Outlaw II style rim and they also did not have a sliding rear window. The trucks had a limo-style solid rear window that rolled down, that was the only Bigfoot add-on that was left on the recalled trucks.

1987 was the only year for the real limited edition Ford Bigfoot cruiser pickups which makes them unique. 1987 was also the first year for those generation Ford F-series pickups & Broncos. They were produced up through 1991.
