Question VIN ?

Can someone help with breakdown of this VIN? F37SRFE4240
It is on a 1979 F350 dually now with a commercial Dump body.
I am particularly interested in Engine and Axle ratio. it has the four speed with a creeper low. (and PTO) It looks like a big block but which one? (Valve covers).

Also does any one know of a source for a radiator shroud?

FE4240.. that's the serial number for the F350 series (DC0,001 thru FK9,000) in 1979. Post up the 2nd line of the warranty plate found on the driver's door.
