I don't know what VW Jetta you are referring to.

There are three diesel truck categories, Diesel Truck (/DT), Modified Diesel Truck (/MDT), and Unlimited Diesel Truck (/UDT). /DT is intended to represent a typical diesel pickup truck with all panels in their stock positions and almost no streamlining (mostly following the rules of the Gas Coupe category /GC). Both the Nissan and Ford above appear to be /DTs

Grill blocks are specifically barred.
Belly pans are specifically barred.
A flush tonneau cover is allowed, but no other streamlining behind the cab is allowed, no spoiler.
An air dam is allowed, but the bumper must remain stock and it may not block the grill.
Mirrors may be removed, but door handles and window trim must remain stock.

Hot Rod's Camaro raced in a variety of categories, typically as a Classic Altered or Competition Coupe. Altered allows significantly more streamlining, including a "Step Pan", CC goes even further. Classic is for cars 1949-1981, their Camaro is a 1981.
A while back,one of the members shared a link to VW's Bonneville project.It might show up in a search.
Here's B/DT pickup which ran in 2014.It looks like a 'fit' to the rulebook

When I ran in 2012,it was just for time and I could do whatever I wanted to the truck.

Ford with illegal grilleblock

Very illegal Impact/EV1

HOT ROD's looks illegal
