669hp Chevy C10 Boomhauer Gets Race Spec Suspension - and Still Has a Bench Seat

Throwing 669 horses toward a 70s pickup with bone stock everything else isn't the best idea on the planet... there's a LOT that an old truck needs to keep all them ponies planted. Zac knows this thing might see a corner or two once it's fully alive, so he threw some QA1 Motorsports magic at it to make sure all that vintage sheetmetal stays planted.

If you could have one Hoonigan host help build your car who would you choose? (And you can’t choose Dan..)

[@joealex65]

Does Vargas count as a hoonigan? If not, i'm sure Mochi does so he'll be my pick! 🐶

[@perotekku]

Scotto, dude seems super chill, and no judgement about procrastinating.

[@jonathonjones9794]

Jose or chairslayer

Bad daddy braddy!

[@drewsinger6570]

Hert.

[@r.five.3]

At least someone in Hoonigan knows how to get a project done ;)

[@PBRatLord]

Because he actually planned out his build and had all the parts etc lined up when he found his project vehicle, makes for a much quicker and smoother build process. He had nothing but the chopper around the shop for the longest time, hard work and proper planning paying off nicely now

[@aserta]

@Ryan, to be fair, S-man has a ton of other responsibilities and some of his projects weren't feasible in the time he setup. It's kinda like i'm trying to kit up my Mustang, but i'm from Europe and he had the Audi, but he's in US.

[@d0gyface]

Shots fired lol

[@LimitPro1]

Oof

[@r.five.3]

@@aserta that audi couldve been done already, theres loads of German cars and parts in America (I would know, I build Mini's). I know hes busy running everything behind the scenes but it would be cool to see anything get done

[@TryHarderPlease]

Anything with the C10 in it gets an instant click from me

[@speeddeamon188]

this is the new version of Saturday morning cartoons for me

[@depthsounderdave]

I feel like I need a TV test pattern and national anthem before the video starts to make the Saturday morning experience complete.

[@slippersgarage4775]

As someone that lives in a northern state it’s crazy to me that you didn’t paint that part of the frame when you originally C notched it and it’s not rusty already lol.

[@LastAphelion]

Maybes that's why its being given away now

[@PhuckenTacoz]

Started as a budget build ended as a 60k sponsored car. Wish I had a budget like that...

[@danielserrano8600]

Right!!!!!

[@dioatha]

Hank vs mochi for build and battle season 3

[@CarbaCars]

I think the C10 is one of the projects that I love seeing content on. Makes me want to get a c10, but honestly Zack’s budget is a lot higher than Mine. Keep up the awesome videos guys!

[@deeshotta7076]

CarbaCars not that he has a higher budget its the hoonigans have alot of hook ups and stores give zac stuff for more exposure of there product so others who see this are more likely to buy there stuff its a win win for hoonigan and stores

[@Panthercholo]

Don't forget they get to write everything off on taxes. I bet the entire reason they created this show was for that purpose.

[@theflyingjew9338]

Quick release steering wheel wouldve been my broke ass remedy to zachs column issues

[@benjaminfranklyn604]

zack is hot rodding his devil truck while scotto napalm nova is collecting dust. #ScottoGetToWork i wanna see the nova murder some tires. zac should paint the truck cherry/wine red with flaky light red.,

Driving my 1/2 ton the other day thinking how great it would be if someone made a torque arm kit for trucks. Who knew? Thanks QA1.

[@blackcanyongarage]

Thanks for giving me something to look forward to on Saturday mornings! Love the builds progression.

[@jaygill1870]

I appreciate the number of sponsorships on this truck, this will be one of the nicest C10s on the road.

The Chop King continues to build his dream truck! Can't wait for the 11/10 CHOP RATE exhaust! YEAAAAAAAAAAAH!(Zac's voice) 🤠🔥

Zac went full nascar on his exhaust. #doitfordale

[@BIGREDTECH]

Yeee yeee!! All moist over this setup!! Zac gets down like a pro!

[@OlDustyTrails]

100% the most in-depth and detailed Staff Inspection on here, and loving it. Zac puts in the work and killing it on a cool C-10 build.

[@dylanmaupin208]

I want to build up my gramps old 72 Chevy and this is by far my favorite hoonigan build to date, super information and Zach makes it super entertaining great job man love this series!

[@joedvorak1077]

I love this build im not a truck guy at all but click as fast as possible to check this out every time.... Keep up the great content

[@PeteM.]

Being in Australia and never seeing C10 pickups or anything this series is great!

[@lb9gta307]

There's at least 2 squarebody C10s in Australia. I've seen them in Summernats coverage. SOLID and ERUPT are their names.

[@MrKalashnikov4774]

Can’t wait to see the C10 rip. I would definitely Pick Zac to help work on my project because he actually gets stuff done!

[@jefferykaighin7039]

Wow! Great video! Tell your helpers they know their stuff and the young feller has a Bright Future!

[@Dice_weiss]

what a rad truck. gotta say Zac's explanations on parts hes installing are very informative for a fellow jabroni

[@mikes062]

🤤🤤🤤this truck is so awesome!!! My dad owned a couple old square bodies when I was a kid, they were so cool!!! One was a 2 tone Black with silver GMC Sierra Classic, I miss that thing...

[@ecogiful]

I'm no hater, but having said that... The hardest part is beating back the sponsers. good work zack!

[@k5guy]

Tilt upgrade was good idea. My blinker connection (74 K5) caught on fire and melted the cross out of the u joint. Instant 180° of wheel slop was fun driving home.

[@chrismendoza2110]

Building it right the first time looks good guys!!

[@WetOurPants]

Can’t wait to see this done I love the c10 body

[@eflizotte]

Fantastic series... I’ll be watching these multiple times!

[@codynosleeves]

That c10 is so gnarly. Building my 78 right now as well. Ls build of course! Taking notes on that steering column, looks sick.

[@mars7786]

Take them boys out for some beers nice job looks good guys can't wait to see it rippin

[@matthewguilford9340]

Love how u guys did the kit every dude can do in the garage, but we all know that should be welded to the frame and not bolted

[@JSmooVE3990]

Watching zak build is always the most informative.

[@charliestavro2843]

Badass suspension! Looks great!

[@HooniganProjectGarage]

Tune in this Saturday as we button everything up on Zac’s C10 “Chopper Hauler”. It’s almost ready for it’s first burnout.

[@JaredR1996]

I’m really loving this truck 👍👍👍

[@jeffreyfledderman2883]

@ 2:37 a perfect that's what she said moment lol looking good.

[@Varrig]

Killer vid for a killer truck! Excellent camera work! Night and day difference Zac! Even a hair difference in timing allows that camera to focus properly on all the parts.

[@derekouellette6551]

That's some super trick super clean suspension parts right there,really nice kit they have there.Your trucks gonna be a bullet when it's done

[@user-pq1rb8ed1o]

I am ready to see this thing rip! Get it done and post the dang videos!

[@thedude7726]

Zach is building one of my dream cars. My dad used to have a c10 when i was a kid and ive always wanted one simular to this. But in the north east not much of this era has survied sadly.

[@Buggblasta]

Came out real nice brotha Zac!!! Nuffin like workin wit good bruhz who truly enjoy cars. Shred heav and send it !!!!

Best series ever !

[@angelobeso7977]

Cant wait to see this truck at the burnyard its gonna be sick man..🤙

Ok Ill bring you my 86 square and you guys can repeat all the work you just did. So its still fresh in you head! YEA!!!! LOL!!! Seriously I'm loving this truck. I want one!!!! Cant wait to hear it and see it perform! Loving this C10!

[@MrWoodyBalto]

Love the shortened tilt column. I'm fat but bought a square body stepside back in the 90's I could barely squeeze in there so I put a little 10 inch Grant GT wheel it to solve the problem

[@joshuahubbard7300]

In regards to the SEMA ad in this, that is one sick prize man. I have always wanted to not only go check out SEMA but hanging with and meeting you guys would be probably the coolest thing I could think of doing. Wish is was just a drawing based on subs though, like randomly drawing a couple of sub names for the tickets and such. As a cancer patient there is no way I can spare even the smallest amount of fundage to enter. Making a man wish he had more money LOL.

[@burntheships]

3 Dudes working on your truck in the sun- We're getting paid right...? Zach- thanks for the help guys!

Sooooooo.....it's for hauling bikes? Love it. Went from a work horse to a beast. This is what happens when you catch that bug

This truck is so simple and clean but packing a monster in mods

[@marek196c]

Zac, WHY u didn't primed/painted the frame meanwhile u was there (and I mean taking out the rust and making few coats of primer + spray of choice)? Bugging me so badly.

That project is sweet c10 is my favorite I have done a couple and you have dropped a lot of cash on those parts my friend

[@413pl3]

Once Zack had the bed off and the full frame rail exposed he should have used a wire brush kit with a drill and spray paint the frame and differential. Would have been a nice touch.

[@marsredr100]

EggCellent!!! Bring back the Oompa Loompa Bois for even faster assembly 😉
