Decode door data tag

Can any one decode this
VIN F15BKDC5XXX Color 6 Body 8A4 Trans B Axle 134
The site VIN decoder will only tell me it is a 79 F150 and I already know that.

What is a front roll bar? Must have had an axle swap done it now has a 3L50 tag out back and its still geared too high. The yellow is bright bees love it, and yeah BA4 is most likely right, it is a style side 8' with black and silver. Thanks.

Factory push bar.

Yeah, I could see that happening. 2.75 would be a real pig.

Probably BA4, then. No numbers on the first code, just letters.

Dang I wonder where that push bar got off too, although I really don't think it would push much. It might look nice on my F250 if it was still around.
