Tail gate badges

[HK1837]

What I meant was did any Kingswood based sandmans get the kingswood badge? It seems to me the tailgate on Kruizs ute is a kingswood tailgate due to all the extra holes.

Yes, that is what I meant. HQ was a Kingswood with XX7 option so it got Kingswood badges. Same reason HQ Belmont XX7 had Belmont badges and HJ Holden XX7/XU3 got HOLDEN badge. I can't remember if HJ Kingswood XX7/XU3 had a Kingswood badge on the body or not. HOLDEN and engine size badge was deleted on HX and HZ due to the graphics but you could option the engine size badge back again. HX and HZ also had the Holden grille badge deleted and got a Kingswood grille badge (Lion) as the HX and HZ Sandmans were basically a Kingswood.

sounds like you won't get a definitive answer on what a 1976 Kingswood XX7 sandman had on the tailgate. and with probably only 10 left, and the tailgate a common damaged thing may be best to

ring Andrew, 0417964070, he has a mint Julip 4/76 Dandy Sandman Kingswood ute the same as yours except L32 M20, and has owned it for 20 years. see what he can remember....

wasn't the yellow HJ ute in the sales brochures with the motorbike on the back a kingswood?, it had the kingswood pillar chrome strip anyway from memory......
