I copied and pasted your vin # in onsite vin decoder and it said F150 unknown year and engine size and made in Michigan.

In mid 77 the serial number makeup changed. I believe it's the fourth digit from the end changed from a "zero" to an "O". Could be vise versa, I don't have my registration handy.
Number Dummy might help.

My best guess is that you have a 78 F-100 4WD with a 400cid. 1978 and 1979 they apparently switched to two letters for the first two places of the last six of the vin.

F14 - F150
S - 400cid engine
L - Michigan
AG0320 - Serial (1978?)
