1983 F-250 VIN Codes

Having trouble finding information on the VIN codes for my 1983 F250. VIN is:
1FTHF26G3DPA17695. Door sticker says it has a K tranny and 33 axle. Also the GVWR is 8600 which seems high to me for a F-250.

Would 33 be for both the front and rear axle?

Is 8600 correct for the CVWR?

What would the GCVWR be for this truck?

What does K mean?

Is there a site I can go to for more information?

Thanks, Phil
