Engine code "G"?

When researching my recently purchased 1982 F150 2WD, I did not find a reference for the engine code of "G" (contained in my trucks VIN). I was expecting a "W" for the Windsor based on the prior owners comments. Does anyone have data to help decipher the "G"?

Thanks,

Mark, in Seattle
"Gramps" is name we gave our truck...

Where do you find like a code book to find out what all your Vin numbers come to be in terms? Like what the letter means? Cause i'd really like to know what my letters mean?
Thanks
Nick

I have several Ford repair manuals that break down the VIN . Even some of the Chilton manuals I have break down the VIN . I thought some where on FTE the VIN info was stored ? Post the yr & VIN of your vehicle & Im sure one of us can give you all the major item info .
