Yep, emissions regulations are based entirely on wheelbase. If you have a truck which has the same wheelbase as a car then it is held to the same emissions standards as a car. The larger the wheelbase is the more lax the emissions standards are. This and the chicken tax are why the US doesn’t have small trucks anymore.
