Vehicle Story
United Pacific Industries’ subdivision UPcarparts.com, a premier classic car and truck parts manufacturer, is proud to showcase Terry and Sara Rose’s custom 1976 GMC Jimmy, aka “Twisted” at this year’s SEMA Show in Las Vegas on November 1-4, 2022. Mr. Rose, of Mt. Juliet, TN., states the Jimmy was so nicknamed as “the build was intended to be a twist of old-school looks with a new-school chassis, powertrain, and luxurious interior.” The United Pacific team met Mr. Rose at the 2021 SEMA Show and reached out afterward with the request to partner together to showcase his vehicle at this year’s convention. UPcarparts supplied their award-winning LED lighting to the pristine GMC Jimmy, including headlights, tail lights, parking lights, and side markers.
Mr. Rose previously debuted a 1968 Chevy C10 aka “Domino” that debuted at SEMA’s 2015 convention, winning Sony Grand Turismo’s award for “Best Truck.” “Domino” was built by Tim and Carrie Strange of Strangemotion Rod & Custom. It also received multiple “Builder’s Choice” accolades at a Goodguys’ Rods and Custom Association event and was featured in Nashville’s 2018 Hot Wheels Legends Tour.
“Twisted” was built by Chris England of Chris England Concepts and will be exhibited at UPcarparts’ booth #23277 on Hot Rod Alley in the Central Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center.
