300D is a W123 chassis................built through 1985

300SD I have is a W116 chassis.....built 1978 through 1980 but the W116 chassis was in production before 1978

The W116 is about 12" longer and 6" wider...they share an engine (It had the turbo diesel first in 1978)

Very few other parts are enterchangible.
