1974

BFGoodrich sponsored Vessels beginning in 1977, when it to help develop its new radial truck tires.

He helped BFGoodrich develop other off-road tires such as the Radial T/A.

With these new developments, off-road racing was able to move away from using tractor tires to using tires specifically designed for off-road racing.

The truck Vessels used for his 1977 win was a 1972 Ford F-100 built for him in 1976 by Bill Stroppe.

The truck had a one-of-a-kind propane engine with an Impco fuel system.

The truck was eventually sold by Vessels after years of racing.

2005

To help celebrate BFGoodrich's 20th anniversary in off-road racing, the company found and restored the truck for the 2005 SEMA Show in Las Vegas.
