First Blood was a Ford monster truck owned by Rob Fuchs out of Woodstock, Illinois.
The first truck was a modified stock Ford, sporting tractor style tires, and then traditional terras. After damage sustained at its first USHRA event (featured on War of the Monster Trucks), it was given a straight rail frame. This truck would later be rebodied and modified to be more competitive, even winning the 1992 Division 2 championship for USHRA. This truck was sold to a private owner (who also owned several other trucks), but has yet to resurface.
In 1993, Rob would build a tube frame truck and compete on the Monster Wars events in the Camel Mud & Monster Championship. This truck was sold mid-season to Mark Bendler (Kodiak, which would cause the Matchbox Monster Wars toy to be cancelled. Mark would later sell it to Tony Farrell, who ran it as Blue Ribbon Bandit, then converted it over to Wild Thang.
