Model...
 

Just a quick question here

I've got an 1987 300 -somthing or other

It's a Diesel so I know there's a "D" in the model.

Otherwise how do I go about getting the exact model name/acronym.

Trying to buy parts online here and there's 300SD, 300DT, 300SDL etc... not too sure which ones me!

I'm pretty sure it's not a Turbo... but on my Vehicle history Package it sates my model # as 3DT...

My VIN = WDBEB33D1HA255423

300D is your model - the "T" does not represent Turbo even though you do have one.
