There were light duty diesel pickups available from GM, Volkswagon and Toyota in the late 70s early 80s. GM had the 5.7 and then later the 6.2 available in 1/2 ton pickups, vans and Suburbans. Volkswagen sold pickup versions of the diesel Rabbit and Toyota had the diesel available in their pickups.

Well if Volvo has any part of it it will be a great engine. My 1990 240DL wagon has over 250,000 and still running strong(gasser). It leaks a little oil but I would trust it to go any were. I put about 2000 miles a month on it going back and forth to work and driving to get my kids ( they live about 2 1/2 hours away) and it is a stop and go route from northern Kentucky up thru Indiana to muncie area.
