u may want to check the vin again. the engine code should be an S for 1979 which would be a 400 4bbl
kansas city plant
UM-must be a two tone pastel sand and white
automatic
2.75 gears
Sand Vinyl and Sand Cloth

X15 = F150 2WD Super Cab Pickup.
No such VIN engine code as 5, it's prolly an S = 400 2V
K = Kansas City MO Assembly Plant.
DE5530 = 1979.
155" Wheelbase.
UM: U = Pastel Sand / M = Wimbledon White.
X153 = F150 2WD Super Cab Pickup, 6,400 lbs. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating.
QTM: QT = Sand Cloth & Sand Vinyl - Ranger / M = Super Cab.
K = C6 Cruise-O-Matic.
13X: 13 = Ford 9" Rear Axle / 2.75-1 / non Limited Slip / 3,750 lb. Rear Axle Capacity / X = ? No such code, take another look-see.
Note: FTE VIN decoders aren't worth TWO CENTS! Have multiple errors and omissions.

I looked in 5 different '73/79 truck catalogs, 1 car parts (Bronco) catalog, couldn't find X listed.
It might refer to P/S, but Ford usually used J for that purpose. It might refer to a tilt wheel. Hold the wheel with one hand, gently press the turn signal handle forward with t'other.
If it has a tilt wheel: BOING!

Little things like these are interesting when VIN tags have codes that aren't listed in the catalogs. Just like the "ford plant" code in the F750 thread. Wonder how many more things like this are out there? I'd like to see pics of the VIN plates. Kinda like the whole F13 code that no one seems to know what that is.

I don't think the asterisk has any real significance.
