No color code. Truck is a special order so color could be part of that.
F824 = F800 gas, 27,500 lbs GVWR
418
41 = probably black vinyl--I don't have that decoder ring for '78
8 = Standard cab, chassis-cab vehicle
BM
B = Auxiliary Transmission Code, also used for some other equipment--in this case Fan clutch less sound package or engine less California emissions.
M = Clark model 285V five speed direct transmission
GHN
GH = Eaton model 17221 two speed rear axle, 18,500 lbs capacity, 6.50 / 8.87 ratios
N = Ford 9,000 lb capacity front axle, with power steering. (Code is also used for 12,000 lb capacity axle with "Optional frame color w/steering ease". The axle will have info cast into it for further info.)
