So i have a 1971 d300 im parting out but i noticed it has some markings on the vin tag that made me curious. The vin is- D31BE1S352229. Below that it has in the sert and equipment list as follows HH1D44 OIL FILTR and then it has NT3011 T/C LOCK. So what are the special equipment? Im sure on of you out in swepty land knows what it means.

T/C LOCK is probably Traction Control, which is what they called the limited slip rear axle in 200 and larger axles. The dana 70 rear axle with limited slip is a rare and highly valuable piece. I had one once in a W300 and traded it for something 20 yrs ago.

NT3011 is a tire carrier lock and is a common SERT on these trucks.
HH1D44 should have a number where the D is located. The oil filter SERT is uncommon and I've only come across it once on a 1971 C800.

Does this D300 happen to have the 9ft Utiline bed? Those are, or at least were, worth gold at one time.

If it does have a 9' bed and it has dually bed fenders, I want to buy them. :-)

unfortunately this truck has a factory style stake bed. Trust me if it had the dually fenders i would never sell them.
