Utah's registration laws that were in effect when your truck was registered required all 1/2 tons to post U6000 and 3/4 tons to post U9000 somewhere on the sides. It didn't actually reflect the manufacturer's gross weight rating. The requirement is long gone and you can get rid of it. It looks like maybe they're vinyl letters you could remove with a heat gun.
