Making a 1978 K5 GMC Jimmy 200% More Live-able With Sound Deadening
ฝัง

- Yeah yeah, we know. Usually you’d expect us to spend hours removing sound deadening, and anything else that doesn’t help make a project lighter or faster. But look - sometimes, when it comes to a daily driver, it’s nice to be able to hear your phone/radio/etc. And a big block powered ‘70s Jimmy isn’t exactly the pinnacle of a quiet interior. So after wiring cleanup and whole lot of scrubbing, Zac and Dave drop in a whole bunch of Thermotec goodness.

If you’ve read this far, make sure to let Zac know he should give away his C10 in the comments.

Zach is my favorite Hoon. When he jumped shit car, that was AWESOME.
This thing looks freakin sick. I love the patina. Can’t wait for the Baja suspension
BAAAAAAAJA UPDATE!
BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAJAAHH UPDATE
I oddly like how informative and narrative Zac has been with his last several videos.
I’m loving the new professional unprofessional content! 👌👍
Taking notes for the 78 Bronco trail rig were slowly building!
Love those old K5s! Dakota dash looks sharp. Dropping an LS in was the best thing I could have done to mine.
*WE* are gonna keep working on that. Good job, Dave.
This is exactly what I want to do to my old F150, damn. Touch of modern with the classic looks.
You’ll always be my favorite hoonster
I wrote three different fume/fan/inhalation jokes trying to make a decent comment but each one came off as airy... love you guys!!!
Had an 84 k5 for years man i miss that beast. Love those trucks.
I have a 77 C10 & 84 K5 myself. Shouts out to Zac for all this helpful content & product info.
Glad one of my favorite TH-camrs is doing a K5 build. Mine’s finally getting the attention she deserves and am definitely taking pointers from you. I might just buy that same cluster!
Perfect timing for me starting work on an '80 Jimmy!
I know you’re keeping it stock, but nothing will beat the sound of the boom tubes and that Texas Speed in Boomhauer. Just something special about an old squarebody screaming in a cloud of smoke.
Yes man! Keeping it og, I love it. Wheels look perfect. Awesome direction with the build.
I love Zac"s tatoo on right arm "DONT DIE" Probably I will get one too
this truck needs a big CB antenna sticking out of the roof lol
Or two giant ones off the back bumper. Sorta like whips
100%
Please keep the door cards in there lol love em
Best looking model of the 70's 4x4's!!!!! Keep the good work up.
I had a 1990 blazer. Sound deadining is the most crucial part to building one of these.
That cup holder is DOPE! the rest of the truck is cool too obviously lol
just got done working on my 78 GMC jimmy and no I can watch Zac work on his!
U gotta love zac 🤣🤣🤣
I love the clip of Blake!
I would love to see another (I know.) channel that airs uncensored versions of everything. You guys do a good job to make the bleeps flow but I think it would be cool hearing Zach drop the f Bombs.
Those wheels look SWEET!
I dig the foot dabs! Keep it safe!
Damn those Dakota gauges look amazing. Cant wait to get some for my K20.
Zac should put some thermotec heat/sound shield on the insides of the doors. Those create a ton of noise when undeadened.
Well done. Back to Back winners.
I love Zac’s content, it’s god damn great ! 😁
Zac's been extra rad ever since he started building trucks
Cool project it inspires my GMC k5
Is comings together really good
Can we change the name of the channel to **Hoonigan Gaaaaaaawd Daaaaaaaamn Cars**? 😂😂😂
Thanks Zac! I wont die!!! and.... I love this truck!
Looks and sounds amazing! Love the gauges!
word edgar in the house?
Last time I was this early, I ended up with a kid.
Looks good mate.
Keep a the good work Cobba,
I like the opening, though it might be a smoother transition if you cut the text slide when Zac says "On the last episode of this build," just thinking, the shreditors have been killin' it lately!
Literally just finished on my 2004 Jeep GC. Now I don’t have to yell at my passengers!!!
Crank these videos out man we are anxious 😂
How does this thing pass smog? Badass build
Ffs Zack where the smoke come on bro that's what I've been waiting for
Looks 100 times better!
K5 owner's are real deal truck guys.
We need some more k5 content
I wish there was an aftermarket wire harness, and dash gauge set up for my square body. I have a 1991 1-ton square body with 4L80E transmission, and since 1991 was the one and only year a square body came with a 4L80E trans it is a one year only wire harness design for both the engine compartment and interior dash.
I wish I had the money in this build to throw at my 91 square body burb I'm working on
Beautiful k5 😍
That big girl right there is an American I can get down with. ;) I bet she smells like freedom.
Senor Mister Zachary,
Why shouldn’t I buy a 77 GMC C15 Sierra farm truck straight 6, 3 on tree, 40,000 of KMs?
Thanks
Yess
Man that looks sweet... what size tires do you have
Life hack brought to you by NaNaNa: Use a mixture of rubbing alcohol and dry ice, smash it into a paste consistency and apply it to the factory sound deadening material. It causes the factory material to crack and pop up losing it's bond to the floor panels. Saves a ton of work and headache when removing factory sound deadening.
I just picked me up a 1979 Oldsmobile delta 88 6.6 and it’s a boat ⛵️
Is that a Caddy on the lift in the background?
Give the people more Nads!
You have to go to currie to keep it somewhat driveable?
I want the C10, definitely give it away! I read the description.
@Zack you should put mud tires on the new wheels you got for it that would look bad ass 👌🏽💯
3:30. Nice tat, very motivatioal.
Zac, wheres ur Hoonigan/HeatWave Laser Face joints at???
I picked up an $800 '79 K5 over the weekend.
Thank you for the videos, keep up the good work!!!!
7:57 Now that's bitchin... can't go wrong w/ stock look! I'm bout to pick up an 84 GMC Jimmy, $1000 LS swapped, gonna drop in a Built SBC. Old Skool Baby. even better Waggy Wheels. ;)
Zack, as many others will probably point out its good you didn't waste any more time getting the dash out because its actually spot welded in.
New account! Under construction!
I'm having a feel that this thing is doing Baja or Mint, or something like that in a near future...
No heat barrier on the roof? In Cali?
Yo mister Zachary #LMC Truck has that grille and so much more!!
before you laid down that heat or sound barrier stuff you should've primed the stuff which had surface rust. I know cali vehicles don't rust much, but it'll further increase the longevity of the truck.
Can we get a parts list for the interior?
I have a 75 gmc grille, its pretty nice but could prolley use a coat of paint if you're still in need.
The background music rock's
I know im a bit late but that dash is spotwelded to the widshield frame.
What size tires are those??
GAWD!! i love how it looks,keep the suspension as is please !!!! (maybe the paint needs a buff) please dont put a stupid high lift :C it just ruins it
Good job 👏 👍
What are those rims called?
Wheres the diesel camaro????
GMC and Chevy are pretty similar so the grill still fits tbe Jimmy
Why not switch grills with the c10 then?
2min in actually starts video. 7min episode, surprised it wasn't a little clip on the bonus channel.
I bought a '78 K5. It has a radio antenna located on the hood near the passenger door. No other Blazer I'm seeing on TH-cam has an antenna. Why is that?
When are we getting Jon Chase designed K5 tshirts? Asking for a friend...
I have some OG phantom gauges for this
Why did you not get new carpet
Since the Jimmy has a Chevy grille why not swap with the GMC one in the C10
Won't fit.
He put a GMC grille on the C10 a while ago
I dont want to be the new pagani gaming but I'm curious on what happend to shitreg
Nut!
Hopefully there were no cracks around the seat floorboards they were prone to that
What kind of cluster is that
Even in quarantine Scotto still hasn't worked on his car😂
Sweet
why don't you swap the grills between the 2 trucks
It's SATURDAY my doods !!!
Slide times at honnigan high.
