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

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.

[@boatscrypto5856]

This thing looks freakin sick. I love the patina. Can’t wait for the Baja suspension

[@kentbeitel9966]

I’m loving the new professional unprofessional content! 👌👍

[@Clappedoutgarbage]

Thank you Zac for keeping classics alive!

[@kevincrosby7123]

I oddly like how informative and narrative Zac has been with his last several videos.

[@MountainSlayers]

Taking notes for the 78 Bronco trail rig were slowly building!

[@motomax13]

You’ll always be my favorite hoonster

[@shoottheheadcase]

I'm really enjoying how Zacks build series has been edited and presented. It gives it an air of competence, unusual for Hoonigan!

[@unclebob540i3]

Love those old K5s! Dakota dash looks sharp. Dropping an LS in was the best thing I could have done to mine.

[@buildingsalvage]

This is exactly what I want to do to my old F150, damn. Touch of modern with the classic looks.

[@Thebakedbaker413]

I wrote three different fume/fan/inhalation jokes trying to make a decent comment but each one came off as airy... love you guys!!!

[@gravityze]

[@kdtest]

Perfect timing for me starting work on an '80 Jimmy!

[@chrisleon774]

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!

[@InsiderMisfit]

Yes man! Keeping it og, I love it. Wheels look perfect. Awesome direction with the build.

[@MegaPastorn]

Best looking model of the 70's 4x4's!!!!! Keep the good work up.

[@jonmether8276]

[@martinholland2796]

[@jbustin94]
