WTB: 510 emblem - I also have a question

This shot is off the web (
this is not of my wagon) - I want the missing
DATSUN emblem for the rear hatch
...
... the one that goes above the
510 - you can see what's left of the three emblem posts in this shot.
Q - Are the wagon
DATSUN emblems the same as the sedan trunk emblems, or am I looking for a "
wagon only" part?

I believe they are the same. They also are the same one on the front fender.

Thanks.
I have seen a
DATSUN emblem for a
510 trunk lid offered, but not one for a wagon hatch.
I don't want to buy one, only find out the posts are in a different location or it's a different size
... that would suck.

took my 68 DATSUN hatch emblem and test fitted it to a 72 wagon hatch and front fender holes. Pins lined up perfect.
Only real differences is the early 510's were metal then they were changed to a plastic emblem.
the DATSUN emblem on a 68 510 2/4 door is in the center of the trunk rear panel and is a larger DATSUN emblem. Not the same as a hatch and front fender emblem. Just in case someone wanted to know.

Thanks for confirming this ... and the additional great information, too!

Finally all is right in the world
I got my hands on a DATSUN emblem. It has about the same amount of "
wear and tear" (aka: patina) as the others, making it a great match.
