A? = engine - 240 cu. in. 6 cyl or if Y = 352 cu. in. V8 (you say it is a 352)
K = Kansas City Assembly Plant
849062 = Assembly date code - Built April 1966
129 = wheelbase - long bed
M = color - Wimbledon White
F100 = Model code - 5000 GVW
E81? = Red Crush Vinyl/Red Cody Pattern Woven Plastic interior/Custom Cab
C = 3 speed manual light duty transmission
17 = rear axel ratio - 3.25
Last line is GVW, HP rating at given RPM and DSO (dealer special order code)
Lastly, WELCOME TO FTE!!

The 4th digit of the VIN is the engine code.
It's not a 4 (no such thing), it's a Y since the 172 net HP @ 4,000 RPM matches the 352 2V.
129" Wheelbase. 129 does not decode to anything inre to a pickup bed...just the wheelbase only.
E81: E = Red Crush Vinyl & Red Cody Pattern Woven Plastic (this refers to the seat upholstery) / 81 = 81B Custom Cab.
C = Ford type 3.03 3 Speed Manual Medium Duty Transmission. The Light Duty was only used with the 240 I-6.
17 = Ford 9" Rear Axle / 3.25-1 / non Limited Slip / 3,300 lb. Rear Axle Capacity.
5,000 lbs. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating.
548644:
54 = Omaha NE Ford District Sales Office, where the original selling dealer ordered the truck from.
8644 = Domestic Special Order number. The truck was special ordered by the original purchaser, not "bought off the lot."
