Vin codes

I've tried and could only find the codes for up to 1980 trucks.

I have an 86 F350 2wd, 460, C6 Crew Cab Dually.
Tag on axle reads: 55 10 2 6f12
Trans code: K (C6?)
Axle Code: 39

Can you guys let me know my axle ratio?

Thanks,

Dan,
My 85 owner's manual shows your rear axle to be a 3.55 Ford with a weight capacity of 6,250 lbs.

I'm an F-250 newbie. Just bought an 85 or 86 (not sure) with a 6.9L diesel. How can pinpoint which year it is by the vin? It was built in 8/85 based on the sticker in the door.

Whats the VIN? I can decode it for you.
Also, the best way to find out what year it is other than by the VIN is the emissions sticker under the hood, if it has one. My F250 has a built date of 09/85, but, it's an 86.
