What kind of airplane is a 763?

[darthmango]

I'm looking at flights to europe, and being a plane nut it matters to be what kind of plane I fly on. But what's a 763? thats the only info that delta gives for some of their flights. ex. here
my best guess is that it would be a 767-300, but then wouldn't they just say 767?

its a 767-300... cause theres a 767-200, and i think a 400 also..

It's an abbreviation... there's different models, so a 767-200 is slightly different than a 767-300, just like 737-100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900 or 777-200, 300 or 747-100, 200, 300, 400 etc. It's simply easier to write 7XX rather than 7X7-X00.
