I guess we have decided to part out the 73 220D we bought. I am going to
keep the engine, trans and associated accessories to use in one of my
offroad buggies. Everything else is up for grabs. Chrome is all nice
except for one piece of windshield trim. Glass is all good except the

So the chassis itself is the same then? I want to use only the body of
the 76 with every other part coming from the 73 220D.
OR, considering how nice all of the parts are on the 220D maybe I should
just part it out and get our money back. We have about $1500 or so in it
right now.

220 bumpers fit
The only nice thing about the 300D is the body is supposed to be rust
free. Paint is badly faded, interior is shot. Engine is taken apart for
some reasonThat's the description I have so far.
