I need some help from some gurus out there on where the 55 emblems would be stock from the factory? Mine is a 1970 fj55

I have 4 emblems that I got with my build. Keep in mind the truck was already taken apart, so not sure what went where. I have 2 "landcruiser" emblems, a 4wheel drive emblem and a square "toyota" emblem with black backing. From my research the "landcruiser and "toyota" emblems, one of each are mounted on each of the fenders, correct?

For the rear 4whl drive emblem, I know it goes bottom left of tailgate per the attached pic. I have holes in my tailgate for the 4whl drive emblem but not for the one to the right pictured on sor's website. Does the sor pic show how it should be from the factory??

Also, for the rear tailgate emblems, what are the factory colors supposed to be? I think I have seen several types of colors, should the 4whl drive emblem background match the color coding on the 55 or ?, I am think just a black background should work?

If these pics are both right, I need one of the fender "toyota" emblems and one of the rear "toyota" emblems. Can anyone help, I promise this will be going to a nice home on a nicely resotred rig.

thanks,

Noah

Noah - the 70 I pillaged had only the 4wheeldrive emblem(black background) on the tailgate - no Toyota emblem or mounting holes present. I have the 70's fenders with emblems intact - can provide you with photos of all these and should have the emblems you require....you can only put so many on one rig/pig:D
 
thanks, pics are appreciated, I found the second fender "toyota" emblem today. So, for a 1970 vintage, it should have 2 emblems per front fender, one "toyota" and one "landcruiser". The rear should have only the 4wd logo, with a black background. Is that correct?

Next time I'm home from college let me dig around the parts on my 1970, mine is taken apart halfway as well, so I don't know where they go either ;) I'll let ya know.
