    A wagon with barn doors is called a van, cause of the barn doors, bit like a commercial type version if you like....
    Barn doors are hard to obtain and not worth alot
    It could be a non turbo SD33, depends on maybe its options, being a base end version well who knows
    Look at the engine the turbo engine will have "Turbo" on the rocker cover and look down the exhaust side of the engine and youll see either a turbo or just an exhaust manifold

    Is it worth getting ???
    Well depending on the asking price , that alone will determine very quickly an answer
    To dear, walk away , cheap and within what you want to pay , investigate some more

    Rust areas,
    Roof gutters, front floor pans, radiator support panel, under the battery tray (eats into the inner guard)bottom of doors, (cheap for replacements), rear lower 1/4 panels ,(many remove for a 1/4 panel chop),more clearance off road
    Repairs and there cost will determine what parts you can find for bolt on replacement parts,like doors, guards ect, how handy you are with a welder,and how nifty you are at body repairs and paint work

    Chuck up the Qs and im sure may can help you....
    They are well over 30 years old, dont expect a rolls royce for minimal bucks
    They will have some issues of sorts
