I found this site; it looks like it's been inactive for several years.
http://www.japanese-trucks.com
It took a bit of searching, but I found some Isuzu trucks. Most were new... I think the owner was trying to set it up as some kind of truck sales site but it never happened.
Isuzu trucks can be found here: http://www.japanese-trucks.com/gallerie ... htm?page=1
The front page of the site includes the 2008 Isuzu calendar they put out online, which has some CGI Isuzu Wasps in it... but unfortunately I still didn't find any actual Wasps in the wild. This leaves the grand total of Japanese Wasps I have seen at one (it has a 1966.5 aluminium sedan grill in it).
Anyway, here are some of the better pics for posterity...
This 1968 Elf is pretty awesome! Appears to have been for sale at Takey's.
Check out the dials - looks like the old 1964-1966 model Bellett! Also those window winders and door lock handles are familiar. The pull handle on the passenger side is the same as the fold-down item they fitted to column-shift Belletts.
This bonneted truck is pretty rad; I've seen these in 1960s brochures, but this is apparently a 1980 model! I think they're TX doors, but the front end is all heavy-duty kinda stuff!
The 1985 Elf is another weird one; certainly looks older than 1985...
Look at this awesome minty-fresh Isuzu TX truck! Farmer??? Farmer where are you??!?!?
And we'll finish it off with a couple more TDW industrial-spec trucks....
More Isuzu trucks!!
