Vin decode assistance

Good morning,

I have two vins I would like decoded. The first one is my 1990 f700 diesel and second is a 1983 gas f700 at the junkyard with axles I would like to swap but don't know the gearing on either.

Thank You for your time.

Thank you for your help 85e150. I figured the gasser would be geared higher, too high for my use unfortunately.
