Help with De-coding my '79...

Would someone please tell me what this truck was/is?

It's a 1979 F-150 with the following door codes:

1) Color - H
2) Body - DT4
3) Trans - K
4) Axle - 13J (maybe a J? it's mashed)
5) D.S.O - 45 (Made in Canada)
6) W.B. - 133

7) VIN # F 15 G C E E 8633

8) Also, could anyone tell me what stall converter this should have?

9) Lastly, what rear axle ratio should it have?

Thanks a whole bunch, Guys!

K code for the tranny means C-6. Seems like every auto put in these trucks in the Oakville plant was a C-6.

Yes it is.

In 79 the C6 code was changed to K.

Previous to that, G was used to denote an Automatic Trans.
