1 yd^3 = ~46700 in^3. So ~1.5 yds.
A friends truck? Dude, this looks like the perfect job for the Elky!

The Elky is not a real pickup. I might get 800 pounds in it without damage. It has nice stainless trim around the windows and the bed edges. Soil trapped under it is a real challenge to clean out.
My friend's truck is a real work truck, and much more capable of taking the load. The calculations I see on line: The average weight of a cubic yard of compost is between 1,080 and 1,350 pounds. If I need 1.5 yards that is way over the 800 pound max for the El Camino.
