Decode
I know how to decode the VIN # but still need to learn to understand the sticker on door jam.
My truck at bottom has 133-F142-LK4-K-19-2-E L
Any help out there ?

No need for Dan Brown's DaVinci...
133-->133 inch wheelbase
F142-->half ton series, GVW range, & 2 vs. 4 wd
LK4-->body, cab (regular or super)
K-->transmission type
19-->3.55 ratio open carrier differential
2-->tape code (body side trim)
E L-->spring code
Ford shop manuals provide full details of the various options & their respective codes in the ID section near the front.

What year, series is this? These codes apply to multiple years.
F142 is F150 related, but your profile says you have an '88 F250.
