Type 97 Isuzu truck

The Japanese Light Truck Type 97 was based on the Isuzu truck TX40, sharing parts common to the Type 94 Truck. The Type 97 could be found in almost all areas of the Pacific war as a principal truck for the IJA until the end of the war.

Japanese trucks were inclined to be narrow to suit local roads and had high ground clearance to cope with uneven surfaces. They tended to be quite heavy compared to British equivalents and some were almost exact copies of the 1939 Chevrolet.

In Bolt Action, the Type 97 counts as a Light Truck, an inexpensive and reliable way to transport up to 8 men across the tabletop, or tow lighter artillery pieces.
