nfused with the trendsetting, custom styling cues popularized by the bike-building Teutul family, the Chevy Orange County Choppers (OCC) Silverado is the ultimate shop hauler designed to transport motorcycle engines and other components necessary to create one-of-a-kind custom choppers with the same eye-popping design flair as OCC's own bikes.
GM Powertrain's 505-horsepower/7.0-liter LS7 V-8 (the same engine that powers the Corvette Z06), backs up the OCC Silverado's Sturgis-ready good looks. The engine features several racetrack-proven lightweight components and a dry-sump oiling system. A remote oil tank is mounted under the OCC Silverado's hood to feed the engine. GMPP also supplies the valve covers. Torque from the LS7 engine is channeled through an automatic transmission and out to GM's beefy 8.8-inch rear axle. It features an automatic-locking differential and 3.73:1 gears, which combine to put the power to the pavement and deliver an exhilarating rush of performance.
A raft of chromed chopper engines is tied down in the customized cargo bed. These elements combine with authentic Chevrolet styling cues, including custom fascias, smoothed bodywork, and a raised power dome hood to create an inspired truck.
Design elements include polished billet grille with CNC-cut flames and Bow Tie center emblem; open headlamp housing with motorcycle-style "tri-bar" lenses and HID lamps; custom lower fascia with billet trim and motorcycle-style auxiliary lighting; raised power dome hood; shaved exterior door handles with ITW Active Touch door release system; custom low-profile outside mirrors; dual chrome side exhausts; smoothed inner cargo box (to accommodate chopper engine transport); removable tailgate with billet flame design and side supports inspired by chopper front suspension forks; custom "roll pan" rear fascia with stamped louvers; custom tail lamp housing with motorcycle-inspired lamps, including "blue dots"; fuel filler relocated to top of cargo box, with polished aluminum flames trim; 22-inch front wheels and 20-inch rear wheels for a "big-and-little" wheel/tire profile with wheels inspired by spoke-type motorcycle rims, including sprocket-type detail; Air Ride Technologies front and rear suspensions; all finished with black paint and red-tinted windows.
Inside, the OCC Silverado also reflects a chopper-inspired theme with custom-tailored "Triple Black" leather seats, motorcycle-inspired gauges and chrome trim that convey the spirit of a custom bike. As with the exterior, polished billet aluminum and chrome is found throughout the cabin. The front and rear seats feature embroidered "OCC" logos; the front seats feature heating/cooling comfort. Performance takes place a little closer to the pavement, too, as the Silverado OCC bike truck is "slammed" to produce the requisite low-slung stance. The ground-hugging ride height also helps the wheels and tires fill out the fenders, for a more integrated appearance
