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-80's for its spooky-themed paint scheme and Dennis’ wild driving style. Alongside Dennis and his family, Grave Digger’s vast roster of drivers has most notably included: Pablo Huffaker, Charlie Pauken, Gary Porter, Randy Brown, Chad Tingler, Morgan Kane, Cole Venard, Tyler Menninga, Brandon Vinson and many more. FELD and the Andersons’ workshop, Digger's Dungeon, maintain and operate the six Grave Digger trucks that are currently competing in Monster Jam events not only in the United States, but around the world.
Alongside Bigfoot and Maximum Destruction (the latter of which is considered to be Grave Digger's rival, particularly when Dennis and Tom Meents would compete at the same event), Grave Digger is arguably the most famous monster truck of all time and has become a cultural icon of the sport; being considered Monster Jam’s flagship truck and inspiring two spinoff trucks: Grave Digger the Legend and Son-Uva Digger respectively. Grave Digger has also competed at every Monster Jam World Finals event since its inception, with the team taking fourteen championships over the years. Though Dennis retired from driving in 2017, he continues to run his own King Sling mega truck, as well as the Extreme King Sling ride truck.
In 1982, Dennis Anderson built Grave Digger 1 as a mud racing truck using a red 1951 Ford pickup truck. The name came from a smack-talking session he had with his rivals ("I'll take this old junk and dig you a grave with it."). At first, the truck was not painted at all and utilized its original weathered gray paint and rust as the design. Dennis would spray paint the name in black on the truck for its first events and later would switch to a red primer paint scheme with professional yellow lettering.
In 1984, Anderson rebuilt the truck as a true monster truck, replacing the red pickup body with a 1951 Ford panel van body with a blue and silver paint scheme. One year later, the iconic "spooky" paint scheme, inspired by 1950's horror comics, debuted after Anderson commissioned his friend Fred Bumann to paint it.
In 1986, Dennis Anderson started racing monster trucks full time. The truck became very popular, despite not enjoying the sponsorship of trucks like Bigfoot (which was sponsored by Ford). His first major victory was in Saint Paul, Minnesota, against Bigfoot two years later.
In 1989, Anderson debuted a new truck, Grave Digger 2; the body switched from the 1951 Ford panel van to a 1950 Chevrolet panel van, which has been used for all subsequent Grave Diggers ever since (except for Grave Digger 17). Grave Digger 1 was then driven by Dennis' brother, Les Anderson. Construction on Grave Digger 3 was also started during this year.
In the winter of 1990, the first four-link suspension Digger, Grave Digger 3 was completed by Gary Porter. In the same year, Grave Digger 4 was completed for use by Jack Koberna on the west coast. Digger 4 used an older King Krunch chassis, and a new Leafer frame was built and Grave Digger 2's old racing gear was used on Grave Digger 5, as the new ride for Les. The first Grave Digger display truck: the street-legal Grave Digger 6, was also introduced.
In 1992, Grave Digger 7 and Grave Digger 8 were created with Lyle Hancock driving and Robert Parker sharing driving duties.

There have been over forty versions of Grave Digger to date (though there is no official Grave Digger 13, due to superstition regarding the number's unluckiness). The number of the truck is often displayed on the front of the hood, in the form of a Roman numeral.
•Grave Digger 1 – Originally built in 1982 as a mud racing truck. It was rebuilt in 1985 as a true monster truck. After many years of deterioration, it was semi-restored. A replica of the "red primer" mud truck and blue/silver 1951 Ford panel van were built in 2012 and 2022 respectively and are now on display in the Rust in Peace museum at Digger's Dungeon in North Carolina alongside the original Grave Digger 1. It is nicknamed "Grandma" by the team.
•Grave Digger 2 - Leaf-spring truck built in 1989 and the first to use the 1950 Chevrolet Panel Van body. The body was soon replaced with a fiberglass replica. Retired after a bad crash in late 1990 broke the frame. It was rebuilt with a new frame and the original steel body in 1994 to allow it to cross the waters of Currituck Sound in North Carolina as part of a charity stunt. It was restored in 2016, and is now on display in the Rust in Peace museum at Digger's Dungeon. It is nicknamed the "Sound Digger" by Dennis.
•Grave Digger 3 – Built in 1991 as the first tube-frame, four-link suspension Grave Digger. Converted into WCW Nitro Machine's chassis in 1999, and was run under multiple identities during the early-mid 2000's, most notably Inferno. Currently owned by Jimmy Durr. It has been converted yet again into Slag Hag.
•Grave Digger 4 – A leaf-spring chassis with fiberglass body run from 1991 to 1993 by Jack Koberna as a west coast franchise of Grave Digger. Pablo Huffaker reused the body on his second Jus' Show N Off truck when he first began running as a Grave Digger driver in mid-1993, leading some to misidentify Huffaker's truck as Grave Digger 4, even though he started driving for the Digger team after the debut of Grave Digger 8.
•Grave Digger 5 – Built in 1991, Grave Digger 5 was a leaf-spring truck that used a new frame with some running gear and the fiberglass replica body originally used on Grave Digger 2, leading to some confusion regarding its status.
Part-time or Anniversary designs Design Description Picture
20th Anniversary Run by Dennis Anderson in 2002 to celebrate Grave Digger's 20th anniversary, this design was painted directly over a standard Grave Digger body and featured several tombstones with images of the truck from previous years, as well as a unique logo. During the 20th anniversary season, the standard design Grave Diggers would run the 20th anniversary decal on their roofs.
At World Finals 3.
"Green Ghost" An alternate version of the regular design, in which the gray/purple ghost has been replaced by a bright green one with red eyes (hence the name). This design also featured a graveyard with wispy green flames, a special roof design, and a unique flame pattern on the hood. This design was introduced alongside Grave Digger 20 at Minneapolis 2005, and mainly run throughout 2006 and 2007. It's most famous for its appearance at Monster Jam World Finals VII, where Dennis would win the racing championship. In 2007, it would also run 25th anniversary ribbons on the side panels as well as a "2006 Racing Champion" decal on its roof before being retired. It has been nicknamed "Seaweed" Grave Digger by the Anderson family.
