"STM" Body Code?

As the title says, I found a '78 dent for $500 and I'm decoding it out to see what I've got while I stick the grille and headlights back in, and am stuck on the body code of "STM". Is this thing an Explorer? It has been painted from it's original color so hard telling if it had stripes and decals back in the day, but it has everything else mentioned in the Explorer package. Heck I think the white topper is even there in their back yard. Is "STM" Explorer, or is this thing just specced a lot like an Explorer?

. ST is an explorer in chamois vinyl.

I would check the VIN on the frame to see if it matches the door.

It's a little hard to make out, but I scraped on the frame and definitely looks like what I'm seeing matches the door. So it's an Explorer, cool!
