Need help identifying two transmissions
I inherited two Ford F150 trucks a couple weeks ago. I was told both have bad automatic transmissions which is why they were given away. One is a 92 and the other is a 95. Is there a simple way to identify these transmissions?

I would suspect that the 92 has either an AOD or AOD-E transmission. Typically Ford stamped either acronym into the pan itself, making identification a breeze. I'm not exactly certain when Ford began using the 4R100W in the F-150, your 95 could have one of those, or may still have the AOD-E.
The best way to check is to look up the transmission code on the VIN sticker on the driver's side door frame. I think one of the technical articles on this site has a listing of all of the transmission codes.

I would suspect the '95 would have the E4OD, which was the predecessor to the 4R100. The 4R100 first showed up on the '99-up Superduty trucks, for F250 and up anyways. The E4OD can be identified by an overdrive lockout button on the end of the shift lever and a light on the lever handle indicating overdrive off or on. The AOD had a shift selector pattern of P R N OD D 2 1, if I remember it correctly.
Yes, in the 'tech articles' section of this website, under the decoders section, there is a listing of trans codes.

'92-'94 F150s can have either an AODE or an E4OD (the '92 may also have an AOD). The way to tell the difference between an E4OD and an AOD is by the pan. If the pan is basically flat and square then its an AOD(E), if it is rectangular and has a "cross" shape stamped deeply into the pan then its an E4OD.
The way to tell the difference in an AOD and an AODE is by the O/D cancel button on the end of the shifter. The AODE has a cancel button, a regular AOD does not. Incidentally, the E4OD also has the O/D cancel button.
