A liquid propane-fueled Ford E-350 cutaway van powered by the Roush “CleanTech” propulsion system is rolling into the cable TV limelight, courtesy of the DIY Network's “Man Caves” show.

The truck, outfitted with a Knapheide utility body, serves as a “virtual workshop on wheels,” according to Chris Weiss, Knapheide's vice president-engineering.

The “Man Caves” truck also features “Sortimo” storage boxes, cases and accessories, and adjustable shelves and dividers for easy reconfiguration depending on the project requirements. There's also a cargo compartment with retention poles to hold sheet material and other oversized parts and pieces, and a bed slide to help load and unload heavy equipment.
