CERRITOS, CA (10.14.26) – SoundSkins Global used the 2026 ClassicParts.com C10 Nationals presented by Chevrolet Performance to announce its newest vehicle-specific kit: a precut sound deadening kit for the 1973-1987 Chevrolet C10. The kit was shown to truck owners on October 2-3 at Nashville Superspeedway and is now available for pre-order at www.soundskinsglobal.com, with kits shipping this fall.
Two days with the C10 community
C10 Nationals fills Nashville Superspeedway with classic Chevrolet and GMC trucks for a show-n-shine, autocross, dyno challenge, drag racing under the lights, a burnout contest and a Saturday night cruise on the oval. For SoundSkins, the best part was the people. The team spent both days at its booth on the vendor midway talking with owners and builders about road noise, heat and rattles in trucks that left the factory with very little insulation.
“We had a blast,” said Dalton Duckett, Marketing Director at SoundSkins Global. “We met so many great people who are deep into their builds and need quality sound deadening and a precut kit that actually fits their truck. That is exactly who we built this for.”
The new 1973-1987 C10 kit
The SoundSkins 1973-1987 Chevrolet C10 Sound Deadening Vehicle Specific Kit takes the measuring and cutting out of a square body install. Every piece is precut for the truck’s doors, floor and back cab wall, so it goes in clean without trimming sheets on the garage floor.
- 50.57 sq ft of coverage for the doors, floor and cab wall
- 3-in-1 material: foam, foil and rubber butyl in a single layer, so one pass handles vibration, road noise and heat
- Two versions, 1973-1980 (SSK-C1073) and 1981-1987 (SSK-C1081), because the under-seat pieces differ by year
- $495, pre-order open now, shipping this fall
- Step-by-step instructions and an install video
The kit drew steady interest at the booth from square body owners, many of them mid-build and planning the interior next.
Broke Dad Builds, ASPC10 and Truck for a Hero
A highlight of the weekend was time with Charlie Brown of Broke Dad Builds, who joined SoundSkins at the show. Charlie is the founder of the American Society for the Preservation of C10’s (ASPC10), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that restores classic GM trucks and gives them to veterans and other heroes who need reliable transportation. Its motto: “Restore a Truck. Restore a Hero.”
SoundSkins is a build partner on ASPC10’s Truck for a Hero program, supplying sound deadening and precut kits for its C10 builds. That starts with Truck #001, a square body known as “Beddy Wyte.” The same truck helped shape the new kit: Charlie worked with SoundSkins on templates and test fitting during development.
“When we hand a truck to a veteran, it has to be more than something that runs. It should feel finished and be comfortable to drive every day,” said Charlie Brown, founder of ASPC10 and Broke Dad Builds. “A quiet cab is a big part of that, and a kit that is already cut to fit the truck makes it a lot easier to get right.”

Thank you, C10 Nationals, and thank you, BFGoodrich
SoundSkins thanks Ken and the C10 Nationals crew for hosting an outstanding event and taking care of vendors all weekend.
The team also took a turn in the BFGoodrich Share the Ride, where professional drivers take passengers around the autocross course. “It was great to get a taste of what a pro touring C10 feels like ripping around the track,” Duckett said. “These trucks are being built to be driven hard, and that is one more reason to get the cab right.”
What’s next
SoundSkins plans to return to C10 Nationals and to add more classic truck events to its calendar, including Dino’s Git Down in Glendale, Arizona, one of the largest GM truck shows in the country. At each stop the goal is the same: show owners what sound deadening does for a classic truck and what sets SoundSkins apart, from the 3-in-1 material to precut kits made for a specific vehicle.
A quieter cab, less heat coming through the floor and firewall, fewer rattles and a better-sounding stereo all start with the same step. The C10 kit is the first in what SoundSkins plans as a growing line for classic trucks.
