Decipher Help...

Recently picked up a 1983, F250 for a Ranch Truck. Appears that it started it's life out as a nice unit. Typical, looks like "Bubba" had it for several years. The mechanic I got it from had it long enough to move a goose neck trailer twice and then parked it long enough for the tires to start to dry rot... It's had a hard life. That's my story.

Any help in deciphering these tags would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Hobo

The body tag has the paint code. Not sure which number it is and do not know what other info is on the tag.
