If you can get even one of the Ford shop manuals, all the codes on those tags are decoded in the front. Paint codes might change from year to year, but alot are the same. You should be able to score 1 of the volumes for $20 on ebay.

what do you need ?
 
I dont guess I need anything really. Just snooping as I was told a SWB 4x4 supercab was not made in 1978.

I know I need more than the VIN but I dont see a tag like the one pictured.

I used the 1978 link and made some sense of it but didnt quite get all of it.

My VIN is X14SKBA5135
X14 = F150 4WD Super Cab Pickup.

S = 400 2V.

K = Kansas City MO Assembly Plant.

BA5135 = 1978, assembled November 1977.
