What is this code?

My 1983 4wd has RN38L-MDA on the metal tag on the firewall. What is this?

Best I can figure and remember is that the frame is a 38 (shortbed), where a longbed would be 42? Or something. I think R is for 22R. N...North America?...38" wheelbase. M might be for manual transmission. You can try to decode the rest...
