78 300sd and 81 300D

[Dikyviking]

Could anyone tell me what parts are interchangeable on these two cars? Door glass, bumpers, hood?

Thanks

Many engine parts will interchange, as will a handful of brake and suspension parts, but no body parts.

Thanks. I have the 78 sd with a really good engine and tranny just liiking for a good body ti out it in. Would they fit into a 75 450 se without much problem with the conversion? Any help would be great. First benz for me.

Thanks

yes they would. You jsut need to do all the wiring conversions for the diesel engine. You will probably have to make a manual glow plug switch. Other than that, no worries. oh, and ytou get to get rid of that awful electric fuel pump.
