Here are a few pics of the one that I owned and the one that I am trying to buy back. The vehicle from what I know is called an Isuzu Uni Cab. It used a Wasp Chassis and had a 5 bearing 1500 motor. Unfortunately I had to sell it when my father hurt his back rolling it off the lawn to mow and he threatened to send all of my Bellett stuff to Sims Metal. In his defence I did go over seas for 5 years leaving 3 sedans and the Uni cab and my Mini Moke in the back yard and shed. He put up with alot for a long time. In the end I could not find some where to house the Uni Cab and I sold it on E-bay for $300.00 :x .

Dude if you can buy that back... it's awesome....

And while Brisbellett is right; it's not a Bellett, being a Wasp chassis on Wasp running gear with Bellett gauges and steering wheel make it Bellett enough for me! The Japanese one appears to have a 1969-style 1500 grille badge on it!

I still have the compliance plate off it some where, but from memory it said it was a 72 model.
