Worried about a Zombie Apocalypse? Chevy’s Got the Truck for You

Last Friday at the Texas State Fair, the Chevrolet division of General Motors Co. (NYSE: GM) showed off a concept vehicle it calls “Black Ops” based on its popular Silverado pickup truck. The concept: be prepared to survive anything from a five-minute power outage to the dreaded zombie apocalypse.

The concept truck could be something out of those old “Mad Max” movies. The Silverado includes a raised suspension, body armor and a winch. The pickup bed, pictured below, sports a Truck Vault storage system that even the most determined zombie can’t break into. The vault includes a solar power pack, gas masks, gloves, a First Aid kit, a folding shovel, and some rope. On top of the storage vault are a generator, fuel can storage, and a place to store food and water.
