83 T/A VIN decode plz.

Hello, was just wondering if anybody could decode my vin for me please, i dont think the car is anything special, 83 T/A orig 305 i think? Has 350 now, 5 speed t-tops, it has the smoked out tailights. also i have a feeling it was swapped from a auto to manual, any way to tell with the vin?. No rpo codes to be found, the door sticker is still there, but i can't make anything out. The paint is all original yet, but i have noticed the gas door has been replaced(paint is a brighter red). Let me know what i got if you can thanks!

Not much info to "decode"... LG4, 83, Van Nuys, maybe March or April (late in the MY) production at a guess based on the seq #.

Since GM didnt start using the RPO sticker in the glovebox until the 84 model year, there should be a few codes near the radiator support on a metal plate. Check there.
