Welcome to FTE!
Not an F800. (title changed for clarity)
S81 = LNT800 gas (Should be S80 for that year per MPC, as they show S81 starting in 1975. Another mystery) "T" for tandem axles
F = 391 4V FT gas V8
V = Kentucky Truck Plant
R77119 = 1973 numerical series, April 1973 production
222 = 222 inch wheelbase
L = Holly Green, or Dark Green
S811 = LNT800 gas, 41,000 lbs GVWR
AC8
AC = Medium Gray Vinyl
8 = Custom Cab without butterfly hood
M = Clark model 285V five speed direct transmission
GCN
GC = Eaton model 30-DSC rear axles, 32,000 lbs capacity, 7.60 ratio
N = Ford 9,000 lb capacity front axle with power steering
41000 = 41,000 lbs GVWR
580770
58 = Twin Cities District Sales Office
0770 = Special Order Number. No info available on this.

That would be slow and thirsty.
Good luck with it--whatever you're going to do with it. Quite a landmark out in a field I'd bet....
