You may know the word âsurvivorâ as an older pickup truck that has not been restored, but rather preserved in as much of its original condition as the wear and tear of years on the road has permitted.
This story isnât about one of those.
This story is about the Survivor Truck, but thatâs survivor as in surviving nuclear, biological, chemical or any other sort of warfare, or even famine and pestilence, for that matter.
Jim DeLozier, who says heâs a âsecurity consultant,â built and brought this truck to the SEMA Show. It's a truck meant to be as secure as anything anyone likely has ever built.
Beneath the 360-degree protective cage, armored sniper platform, command and communications center with full Faraday cage, and assorted storage compartments is a Chevrolet C-70, but one with an engine modified to run on a variety of fuels.
DeLozier says the truck carries enough freeze-dried food and has its own water purification, generation and desalination systems to enable his family to live for as long as two years well off the grid, producing the electricity it needs via solar and mobile generators.
