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.

Moving to the rear suspension, it, too, was pulled free and set aside.

 All of the factory parts taken...  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...  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...  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. |
