hat’s the old adage about a painter and his personal projects? Something along the lines of “never getting done”? Whatever it is, we’re here to dispel that pseudo proverb, as we present you with a legit painter’s pride: IKandy Paintworks proprietor Frank Rechlin’s 1963 GMC.

Teaming up with next door neighbor Tre 5 Customs (led by owner Jeremy Rice along with Hector Garcia, Travis Rawleigh, Brian Vowel, and Olin Glick) as he’s done with his own crew (Travis Hearning, Manny Rodriquez, and Scott Dafoe) on numerous projects each year, Frank decided back in November of 2019 that it was due time he put a set of wheels on the street for himself. Having recently painted two first-gen C10s at the time is what primarily biased his decision on what exactly he wanted to build—and with the help of his good friend Mark Shroeder, once the ball got rolling, it wouldn’t be long before “Borracho,” so aptly named after one late-night, inebriated conversation with his wife, Jaclyn, IKandy’s official shop truck, full came to fruition.

or those who know, the infamous Unibody Ford F-100 is quite the hot commodity—equally as much for its unique integrated body styling as it is for its rare breed aspect. A unicorn of sorts, as owner and co-builder Michael Porter admits, when he first stumbled across his 1961 edition he was embarrassed to admit he had no idea what a Unibody was prior to that!
