F10 = F100 2WD

G = 302 2V

N = Norfolk VA Assembly Plant

N80978 = 1972

115 = 115 Inch Wheelbase

PAINT CODE MISSING

F100 = F100 2WD

W = Medium Green Vinyl & Medium Green Body Cloth

4 = Bench Seat-Styleside

G = C4 Cruise-O-Matic

17 = Ford 9 Inch / 3.25-1 / non Limited Slip / 3300 lb Rear Axle Capacity

04450 = 4450 lbs. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating

134 HP @ 3600 RPM

22 = Charlotte NC Ford District Sales Zone

7850 = Ford Special Order Invoice Number.

The DSO is 6 digits = 227850. Your truck was a Domestic Special Order. Ordered with something not found on regular production F100's. You didn't list a Paint code (it's between the wheelbase and F100), so if there's none...Ford painted it a color not offered on F Series trucks. Other than that, I see nothing above that's out of the ordinary.
