They had just a blueprint at the expo last year and showed no pickup part......I looked at it hard after seeing that wingstar van.
Not much sleeper room that's for sure.
From their website, listed in italics:
A van is not a safe, comfortable environment for drivers that live/sleep in their vehicle for long periods.
But the back seat of a low roof pickup is?
Cargo is dangerous and dirty – it should not be placed in the same compartment as a driver.
If you don't like sharing space with dangerous, dirty cargo, get a real truck. Not a pickup.
A pickup truck with 4 wheel drive and a cargo box is safer, handles better and is more comfortable.
4 wheel drive and handles better I will give them. But it is also less comfortable and less fuel efficient.
With seating for 5 or 6, it can also be a family vehicle.
All of my vans have been equipped with E-Track on the walls and floor. When we do family excursions I have plenty of E-Track ratchet straps to safely secure the whole clan.

my grandfather had a very similar unit for his f250 we used it for hauling a single horse to shows worked out pretty good.but that was 45 yrs ago.
That's interesting. I guess it would be an upgrade for the pick up expediter people.
I saw something similar down in Virginia the other week that caught my eye. Large similar frame put on a cut away van. It was only the frame which really looked strange since it was not completed. Looked like a DIY project. I was thinking camper, but it looked more like a large Uhaul frame. Got me wondering now
Looked something like this, only with a larger Uhaul style frame.
