We appreciate works of art in their completed, beautiful, and vision-realized forms. Our appreciation for art would, however, grow tenfold if we saw the acts of labor involved to get to the finish line. This holds true for building a cover truck and we always try to show you how a cover truck was created. Often times, we don't have the build images to bring you, but with this month's F-150, we have some great photos to help you see just how much work it took to create this beast.
Check out the awesome work, and if you have a ride that is close to being finished, or you're just starting out, give these guys a call to bring your dream to fruition. Special thanks to Pat and Kyle for making this story happen.
Arriving at Shocker Motorsports in Bakersfield, California, freshly painted by K-Daddyz Kustomz, also in Bakersfield, the '07 Ford F-150 was in need of many things, including a new suspension, wheels and tires, and power adders. | 
Tear down began immediately as the guys at Shocker literally removed everything from the Ford's body, including the wheels and tires, brakes, and front suspension. |
Moving to the rear suspension, it, too, was pulled free and set aside. Up next, all of the engine's electronics that were mounted to the body were disconnected: coolant hoses, lines drained, and, you guessed it-the body was pulled off of the frame. | 
All of the factory parts taken off of the F-150 were set aside and the ones that would be reused were sent off to be powdercoated. |
New replacement parts, including Cognito upper A-arms with uni-balls, the Bulletproof Suspension lift, knuckles, and differential were also delivered to receive the bright blue powdercoat treatment. | 
With the frame being smoothed and painted, the guys at K-Daddyz Kustomz went ahead and smoothed and painted the underside of the Ford's body. This is hardcore custom-truck building at its finest. |
