To start a diesel after sitting for a while in subzero temperatures we would throw a big tarp over the hood and stuff a torpedo heater under, pointing at the oil pan. Started easy, warmed up fast.
As mentioned, a small generator to run the block heater, if you or those around the truck can stand the noise.
A couple other propane heaters; don't know prices:
