Grave Digger is a 1950 Chevrolet panel van monster truck owned by FELD Motorsports and created by Dennis Anderson. First built in 1982, Grave Digger became popular in the mid-80s for its spooky-themed paint scheme and Dennis's wild driving style.

Dennis Anderson came up with the concept for Grave Digger® back in 1981. Originally built out of an old 1951 Chevy Panel Wagon and parts that he scrounged from junkyards, Grave Digger as of today has grown by leaps and bounds.

The truck received its name when Anderson, amicably retorting trash talking from his fellow racers about the truck's salvaged parts, said, "I'll take this old junk and dig you a grave with it." Anderson gained a reputation for an all-or-nothing driving style and quickly became popular at local events.

Anderson created Grave Digger using a 1957 Ford pickup truck, and at first, he used it primarily as a mud bogger. However, during one of his early mud bogging shows, there was a monster truck that was supposed to make an appearance and never showed.

Gravediggers, also known as cemetery workers or burial ground custodians, dig graves in cemeteries for burials. It sounds creepy, but it's a job that must be done whenever someone dies and chooses to be buried. There is plenty of demand for this gig because people die everyday.

The origins of Monster Jam emerged in the US during the modified truck craze of the 1970s, where heavily modified trucks with oversized tires reaching up to 48-inches became popular. These trucks were used for sports such as mud bogging and tractor pulling.

At a prior event in the early 1980s, when Bigfoot was still running 48-inch (120 cm) tires, Bob George, one of the owners of a motorsport promotion company named Truck-a-rama – later known as the United States Hot Rod Association (USHRA) – is said to have coined the phrase "monster truck" when referring to Bigfoot.
