TimmyG Posted September 25, 2019 Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 Anyone know what market and year models this came on? It appears to be a 4 door RHD 720. I've never seen this grille emblem. I have the Nissan version of this emblem, so this one should fit my grille. If I can find one. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted September 25, 2019 Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 I don't think North American.... If it is, DATSUN would be before the hard change to NISSAN so '80 maybe '81? Usually it's DATSUN by NISSAN They would slip the by NISSAN in there during the soft change leading up to NISSAN beginning with the '79 620 trucks.. Other places in the world kept the DATSUN name I think. I have some references at home and will take a look tonight. Some 720s kept the round headlights!!! 1 Quote Link to comment
TimmyG Posted September 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 Sweet. I would love to know what this came on so I could look for one. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted September 25, 2019 Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 I'l try to look it up tonight. All I have is N Am so it may only say what it's NOT from. Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted September 26, 2019 Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 The early 720 had one like above but the red and blue bars are vertical. I found one in my pile. Here it is... This one looks like it's molded in as part of the grill Quote Link to comment
TimmyG Posted September 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 I was thinking the one in the yellow circle looked like my front grille NISSAN emblem so maybe I could pop a DATSUN one on there like that... Quote Link to comment
DrvnDrvr Posted September 26, 2019 Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 I've never seen the one in the yellow but the one datsunmike has with the red and blue will just pop into your grill and are available. Quote Link to comment

I was looking at it trying to figure out if it's made like the nissan emblem I just posted, with the same grooves and clips. Quote Link to comment
DrvnDrvr Posted September 26, 2019 Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 I have your grille and datsunmike emblem in my pile. I'll see if it's a direct pop-in or if mods are required this weekend. Quote Link to comment

Hey check this out on ebay..... I think it's what you were looking for.... I think the datsun was blacked out in your first pic.... but look at the way this mounts into the grill.... unfortunately I think it has a broken tab .... https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F233191420720 1 Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted September 29, 2019 Report Share Posted September 29, 2019 I put one of these on my 710. I just wired it on. This one looks like it's molded into and is part of the grill.... 1 Quote Link to comment

Yep, that's the one! Too bad it has two broken clips. Jeez, someone was impatient. Good heads up. Thank you. Edited September 29, 2019 by TimmyG 1 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted September 30, 2019 Report Share Posted September 30, 2019 The early 79-80 had the Datsun grille badge. Not sure what year they changed to Nissan on the grille. Quote Link to comment
