Can someone help with VIN decode

I have found a F250 for sale but the owner doesn't know the GVWR, or seem sure of the engine/trans fitted.

He has given me codes - GVW - x268
Axle - C5
Spring - 7k
VIN - 1fthx2617gkb12420

Is someone able to decode these for me?

Thanks very much

Odd... I Live 5 miles from the now defunct Norfolk plant, yet mine was built in KC. I guess there's no telling where it was for the whole 22 years before I got it.

Can't find a dataplate decoder

This might be a good time to post this.

I have decoded the vin on my truck but still don't know about a couple of things on the doorplate like: type-gvw f155, body lg4. I know code k is c6 tranny and code 18 is 3.08 rear end.

That box to the right of the vin has me intrigued and I don't know the spring code.

Can anybody help me on this please, would really apreciate it

Hopefully my attempt at inserting a picture will work
