Decipher VIN number

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 20-Jan-01 AT 02:09 PM (EST)[/font][p]I need to have a VIN number deciphered. Its from a 1984 Ford XL Econoline van, 460 engine, 158" wheel base, dual rear wheels, 2wd. It is an ambulance right now and several hundred miles away.
I also would like to know, what tranny and rear end did ford use on these vehicles?

Youll likely need the info from the door sticker to see what Trans & Rear Axle it has .
