Did some updating to the list, lots of changes in the past few months! Several new trucks have debuted, Tre Knight has debuted his team of trucks, Black Gold and Fools Gold(also heard it was named Eye Candy?), the former Brute Force returned to original owner John White and was transformed into Bad Descision, the former West Virginia Mountaineer became John Fitzgerald’s Turbulence,  Monster X Tour acquired several trucks, Walking Tall has a new owner in Tyler Wind, and much more! Check it out!

Something I noticed and correct me if im wrong but Black Pearl and Miss Overbored are run on the same chassis and Wildside is its own chassis being it was the first overbored chassis

Yeah, when I first made the list was when Miss Overbored was still on the Willy’s chassis and hadn’t run on the black pearl chassis yet. But I haven’t changed it because I figured the 3 names plus Wild Side being listed in other identities still gives the idea of only 3 chassis with 4 names essentially.
