Help decode my 79 F150

Got most everything figured out from the vin and door tag. Questions remaining are= Color: UM, Body: QT4, Trans: K, Axle: 16, DSO: 52.

In case you're curious, the rest of it breaks down as a F-150 2 wheel drive, 133" wb, 460 cid/4 bbl, mfgd in Kansas City, Mo., April, '79.

Thanx in advance for any help.

Check with the decoders listed in the Read First: FAQ sticky at the top of the forum. There are sites with paint color decoders also. Check with Mil1ion's website for listings.

Using the decoders I was able to get everything except color and body. Can anyone please give me a hand. The door tag shows Color: UM and Body: QT4.

One of the decoders says the truck is a 1980, but everything else shows it is a 79, including the title.
