New C10 Sheetmetal Panels From United Pacific Industries

Chevrolet’s ’68 through ’72 C10 pickup trucks have become increasingly popular. Got to any car show or cruise night and you’re bound to see a few. United Pacific Industries (UPI) is helping meet the demand of enthusiasts with restoration parts and accessories.

In addition to the myriad of lighting options, bumpers, mirrors, and accessories, UPI has just released several needed C10 sheetmetal components. The lineup includes a shortbed bedside panel for 1968-72 Chevy and GMC Fleetside trucks, the bed floor, and a tailgate with GMC script for 1967-72 Fleetside shortbed trucks. We’re told a blank tailgate will also be available very soon.
