For $900 not only can you hang out with him for half a day, but you get a full on ride experience in the King Sling ride truck with Dennis behind the wheel.
This is just awesome watching Dennis have fun! Thank you Ryan for posting. Dennis has to be the sweetest friendliest man I've ever known!! Besides his smile being contagious, hes never met a stranger.🤗
I really love these vids with Dennis, freaking legend in my heart. Grew up watching him and all the guys in the 90's run their trucks at the Seattle King Dome.
@@LPOneThree I remember walking the floor of the King Dome when I was a kid with my Grandpa and Grandma cause my Grandpa got us the pit party pass and getting to take pictures with the drivers, I have somewhere an old photo of me with Dennis and then another with the driver of Tropic Thunder Wayne Smozanek.
This is so cool I grew up watching monster trucks with my dad, later on in life still love watch to watch. I’ve been a digger fan since day 1 and now am a fan of his whole family as they continue to push monster jam to new heights.
I love seeing Dennis live out his dreams and have fun like he is a kid again! He deserves it! Yall have any straight axle 80s chevys over there I can come buy haha.
I honestly hope I get to meet Dennis and his kids someday, I want to thank him and all of the gravedigger teams for making a childhood for me, Even though I wasn't around for it, ill never get the first day of Dennis beating Bigfoot at my home town out of my head for as long as I live.
One of the greats, I grew up with Tony Farrell as a kid and Tony drove the BLUE THUNDER FORD monster truck!! He used to tell me all kinds of stories about Dennis and all the other OG’S that basically started monster truck shows!!
2:21 that new chassis or should I say big overgrown roll cage. It’s amazing just seeing the engineering in that is amazing. Just scares me seeing that and think about the 16 year old kid in Dads pickup that had been past down through 2-3 generations trying to jump the creek and folding it in half. I wasn’t going that fast eitherlol😂😂
Love it mint Always loved the grave digger and a funny fact I found out when I was a teenager Brody my name … in Irish Gaelic terms it meant “ grave digger” call little fat. Thanks for all the cool videos man.
So back in '96 when me and my family took our first trip to the OBX, my dad, little brother and I rode in a ride truck that used to live its glory days as a NYFD fire truck back then...........that's unreal to fathom right there almost 30 years later. Thanks Dennis for that little history lesson that I was never aware of!!!!!!!!! #DiggerTime #RedLightBandit #ForeverTheIconOfMonsterJam #KeepDigging
I remember watching you Dennis at the Richmond coliseum in 1986 . I don't think Ryan was even thought of at that moment , Twinkie in dad's eye lol I was 7 years old, I was hooked ever since on the digger !
Just proves money doesn't need to change you as a person. You heard him when he was still active on the Monster Jam circuit; he was always thanking the fans for every nut and bolt. This sport is not a place where you can pretend to rise above it all; you have to get your hands dirty and do much or some of the stuff yourself, even when you have a crew chief and a dedicated team of mechanics. Listening to how Dennis did everything on a *very* limited budget in the early years tells us how much of a struggle it was. I'm not at all surprised he and his family have stayed grounded. Dennis and his Grave Digger trucks have been my favourite since I started watching monster truck racing back in the late '80s. Here in Norway this was broadcast on a a European satellite channel named Screensport and I used to watch the old TNT shows with both monster truck racing and mud racing religiously. Monster truck racing is of course a completely different beast today and I do miss the old metal body trucks with shiny chrome parts and traditional vintage designs somewhat, but I do understand why they changed to tubular frames and fiberglass bodies considering what these trucks are made to do today. When I think about the legacy of Grave Digger and how it is still a mainstay in the sport and hopefully will be also in many years to come, it's been one heck of a journey. And that's coming from someone who's just been watching it on the telly 😄. I'm glad Dennis prevailed through all those financial challenges as an independent and was able to pass on a strong brand name to those drivers carrying the torch within Monster Jam today.
Please Please let us see all these rides when he's done with them. He has the same idea I do with running the exhaust out the side of the panel, be so awesome and kick ass looking
Wish I could hang with him. He is an idol of mine from the start. Meet his son Adam at an event and told him it has been a dream of mine to drive one never could figure out how. Felt like I kinda got ignored. I understand he hears that all the time. Sill a big fan of Dennis. Love his truck King Sling.
Dennis you should’ve picked up Big Rick D. and taken him with ya I was gettin new sneakers on my square body Chevy I got to see king sling right before your reveal that weekend at the Metal Shop. You guys are my hero’s and Chuck Ewing said so
I met him at a monster jam even in Detroit in I believe 2013. N he signed me Gravedigger jacket that I know have in a plastic hanger. I haven't worn it since then. It was awesome meeting him since I followed him since 1990 a truly great guy. That'd be cool just to hang out with.
Not sure if you know Dennis Colin's from cofie walk hes on utube also he has a old dodge panel wagon very cool and complete and maybe in your price range check his channel he's having a action in April
I’m one of those that could talk all day long about this kinda stuff, because I’m that kinda guy. Met Dennis personally at a show in my hometown last summer (2022) and we almost opened a can of worms 😅
Message to dinnis Anderson, my dad does the truck pulling in Oregon California Montana, Idaho areas , he just got a panel van from Idaho for around $1000 , sitting next to his shop , look up Ralph tramp with agent orange puller from north plains Oregon, been sitting for few years under cover, maybe you can buy from him no motor all there , not sure his plans for it , yes we seen your grave digger Truck many years too , I love older Ford bronco truck I have a 93 bronco truck 4x4 , I want 5 ton axles with 4 wheel steering on it soon , is my dream great video , watching from seaside Oregon coast area, I'm in to old school trucks too
I find it funny a big truck like that chevy panel truck with a stove bolt six in it pushing around one hundred horsepower. That's a big truck for that little engine
How do you go about getting in Contact with Dennis Anderson to arrange get an Autograph on my Primal RC Grave Digger Monster Truck?? I'd either come to Digger Dungeon or Ship it to Dennis!!!!
There is a Chevy panel van in Watertown South Dakota that is for sale , runs and drives , the guy that has it , has 2 of them, if your interested I can get the information for you
When I was young you came to our country fair at the end when loading to leave you did burn out and the cops gave you ticket jerks we were all so mad they did that sorry man
What's nice to see you can build a corners rig but you can't build the original grave digger out of that Cadillac hearse I know the Cadillac hearse is rare why don't you try to find one
Then you better find the Cadillac hearse... BECAUSE THE CADILLAC HEARSE WAS THE ORIGINAL GRAVE DIGGER... I GUESS PEOPLE DON'T KNOW HIM FROM CALIFORNIA DO THEY THAT CADILLAC HEARSE WAS A MUSEUM PEACE
IF YOU WANT TO FIND A RARE TRUCK WHY DON'T YOU FIND THE CADILLAC HEARSE THE ORIGINAL GRAVE DIGGER WAS MADE OUT OF... NOT A PANEL VAN... TRUE HISTORY I MET THE GUY THAT BUILT THE ORIGINAL GRAVE DIGGER
I would give anything to just go follow Dennis around and listen to his stories. One of the coolest dudes to walk this earth.
I would just like to chill w the Anderson's for a day
facts
For $900 not only can you hang out with him for half a day, but you get a full on ride experience in the King Sling ride truck with Dennis behind the wheel.
@@iambobthenailer oh you can trust me that if I was anywhere near him I would be there.

How awesome would that be to have Dennis come in and say “ hey let’s go look at some old trucks”. Man is a legend.
Love how he still gets so excited about these old trucks. Save them from the crusher! anything, cars, trucks, vans.
Dennis is one of the coolest most genuine guys I've ever had the pleasure of meeting...world needs more like him

My cousin has a 1956 suburban that would look hella good on that mud truck chassis!
Too cool man! I've been searching for an ol ford cab for my 7.3 diesel for couple years now

So happy y’all have a TH-cam channel going
Me too. We need endless videos of them.
So back in '96 when me and my family took our first trip to the OBX, my dad, little brother and I rode in a ride truck that used to live its glory days as a NYFD fire truck back then...........that's unreal to fathom right there almost 30 years later.

What is funny. Dennis is a millionaire and still low balling a guy on that truck. Reminds me of my dad. I love Dennis. He is still a hard working man.

Ryan I just want to say I am a very big fan of your father's I love his obsession with panel trucks
Please Please let us see all these rides when he's done with them. He has the same idea I do with running the exhaust out the side of the panel, be so awesome and kick ass looking
I had a 66 chevy panel truck with a 327 was definitely a cool rig
I see you driving threw grandy just passed the royal farms and I see you are at the place with all the old cars in coinjock
My very first vehicle was a 51 Ford F-1. I used that thing on the farm for 25 years, awesome ole truck.
Wish I could hang with him. He is an idol of mine from the start. Meet his son Adam at an event and told him it has been a dream of mine to drive one never could figure out how. Felt like I kinda got ignored. I understand he hears that all the time. Sill a big fan of Dennis. Love his truck King Sling.
Thats so cool that his first truck had an l-88 in it
Dennis you should’ve picked up Big Rick D. and taken him with ya I was gettin new sneakers on my square body Chevy I got to see king sling right before your reveal that weekend at the Metal Shop. You guys are my hero’s and Chuck Ewing said so
Cool car! - Race it with pride 🎉😊❤👍🙏
Man don’t hack up that 66 ambulance, that thing is way too cool

I wish you would have posted this video a couple of weeks ago. We took a late 40’s Ford panel truck body for scrap….
Will we ever see another Dennis Anderson/Boston Rob road trip?
That old dually needs a CAT diesel
Not sure if you know Dennis Colin's from cofie walk hes on utube also he has a old dodge panel wagon very cool and complete and maybe in your price range check his channel he's having a action in April
I’m one of those that could talk all day long about this kinda stuff, because I’m that kinda guy. Met Dennis personally at a show in my hometown last summer (2022) and we almost opened a can of worms 😅
I would spend every day all day with Dennis looking for panels my dad's got one he's rebuilding I love them soo sick
BIGFOOT .
I actually met and got an artigraph from home in New Orleans before hurricane Katrina.
Message to dinnis Anderson, my dad does the truck pulling in Oregon California Montana, Idaho areas , he just got a panel van from Idaho for around $1000 , sitting next to his shop , look up Ralph tramp with agent orange puller from north plains Oregon, been sitting for few years under cover, maybe you can buy from him no motor all there , not sure his plans for it , yes we seen your grave digger Truck many years too , I love older Ford bronco truck I have a 93 bronco truck 4x4 , I want 5 ton axles with 4 wheel steering on it soon , is my dream great video , watching from seaside Oregon coast area, I'm in to old school trucks too

Man you didn’t even give that Chevy van a look
Not a bad looking 41 Ford panel truck
Yall hiring any mechanics? Just down the road in La Grange NC
2:20
What chassis is that?
What happened to the shady lady ???
You can donate any of those ford panel trucks to Beaver Creek Bait I’ll pick it up
How do you go about getting in Contact with Dennis Anderson to arrange get an Autograph on my Primal RC Grave Digger Monster Truck?? I'd either come to Digger Dungeon or Ship it to Dennis!!!!
I go wit you
A guy down the street from me has not 1 but 2 panel vans just sitting pretty sure at least one of them runs good body not rust bucket
There is a Chevy panel van in Watertown South Dakota that is for sale , runs and drives , the guy that has it , has 2 of them, if your interested I can get the information for you
I like the Ford Trucks. I am not a Chevy guy.
bro said 75 bucks for that that a steal in 1982.
❤❤❤❤
We went to high school together.
I know where an old panel truck is might be for sale I think it’s a Chevy
I heard monster jam owns your original grave digger so it cant be put in a monster truck museum
@HeavyDSparks been called out for mud run.
I’ve been trying to meet him for 8 years:(
😎💪🏻🇺🇸
Junk yarding with Dennis
When I was young you came to our country fair at the end when loading to leave you did burn out and the cops gave you ticket jerks we were all so mad they did that sorry man
What's nice to see you can build a corners rig but you can't build the original grave digger out of that Cadillac hearse I know the Cadillac hearse is rare why don't you try to find one
hes grinding guy over $5k, wow guess there aint much money in monster jam
I eat sleep breathe rat rods they are my life my eyes got huge when I heard the word rat rod 😊
16:30 Please DON’T turn it into a rat Rod or anything else! Those heavy duty panels are too rare and are just fine.
cheap easy and history.
Man this channel does not get the credit it deserves
Then you better find the Cadillac hearse...
BECAUSE THE CADILLAC HEARSE WAS THE ORIGINAL GRAVE DIGGER...
I GUESS PEOPLE DON'T KNOW HIM FROM CALIFORNIA DO THEY
THAT CADILLAC HEARSE WAS A MUSEUM PEACE
IF YOU WANT TO FIND A RARE TRUCK WHY DON'T YOU FIND THE CADILLAC HEARSE THE ORIGINAL GRAVE DIGGER WAS MADE OUT OF...
NOT A PANEL VAN...
TRUE HISTORY
I MET THE GUY THAT BUILT THE ORIGINAL GRAVE DIGGER
Totally awesome
