The VIN won't tell you the axle ratio.
On the drivers door is a metal plate (warranty plate) just below the lock. This will have an axle code on it along with the VIN number. That will give you the original axle information including ratio.
Problem, on trucks this old the door or axle (or both) could have been swaped out by a previous owner.
If you post the info on the tag I can decode it for you. It will tell you the original paint, interior, axle, etc.

This is what your VIN number decodes as:
F25HEFC0085
F25=F250 2WD
H= 351 2bbl V8 engine
E=Mahwah Assy. Plant
FC0085=1979 sequential serial number
