I used to drive an IH Scout with a Nissan/Datsun industrial turbo-diesel in it.
The fact is, many tractor engines were used in cars and trucks at one time. More common in the 1930s and 1940s, but still a few in the 1960s - 1990s. Checker cab, Jeep, IH, Nissan/Datsun, Renault, etc. Checker and Jeep used the 236 Perkins for awhile around 1968.
Dodge used a Misubishi 6 cylinder irrigation-pump diesel in 1/2 ton full size pickups in 1978.
Chevrolet put the same 236 Perkins diesels into C10 pickups when sold overseas in 1982.
There are probably others that don't come to mind at the moment.
At some point in time, car makers decided it was cheaper to convert existing car gas-engines into diesels so driveline components would match. Isuzu was one of the first and they did a good job of it. Isuzu PUP diesel trucks, Isuzu diesel Troopers, Chevy diesel LUVs, Chevy diesel S10s, and Chevy diesel Chevettes all used gas engines that Isuzu converted to diesels. I'm still driving my 81 Chevette diesel.
