I think that's a guy called Jose! I saw those photos on Dik's website, I'm pretty sure.
That's a pretty random ute!
Cheers,
Dave

Just thinking about it, you can't really call this a "styleside" Wasp coz styleside usually is reserved for the pickups/utes etc that have a body-style flank.
These are normally called "stepside". In fact, it looks like the stepside was off something bigger and cut down - the tub is huge!

Hey, that makes sense! - Stepside - O.K. And yes, gleaned from Dik's site - there's no trickin' you, mate! The owner's name would have to be "Jose", wouldn't it?
Cheers!

This is a genuine Wasp with a Chevy Apache tub mounted on it (adapted to fit). It has a petrol engine in it. The owner Is Jose Zuniga. The car drives in Costa Rica. Jose has been several times on my doorstep for some parts and a good time ..... The car belonged original to his dad and that's why he rebuild it. There are not much Belletts or Wasps left in Costa Rica, because they ahd a real life of "working horses"

It's great to see the real m'coy exists on the other side of the world, and good times sharing it !
And our resident historian never ceases to amaze either. What type of petrol engine is it?? Surprise us !!
Just awsomely random.

1800 Diesels had a top speed of about 102kph I think, from what I remember from the brochure.
So, uh, good thing he changed it!

What are the chances that they used the tub off some thing like this.  May be I am putting 2 and 2 together and getting 5??? By the way for any one who is interested this is a pic taken from a brochure for sale here on E-bay http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1980-Chevrol ... 417wt_1413_________________

he did Gav. have corresponded with Jose before and they used a Luv body and cut 3 inches out of the middle of it so it fitted correctly.
