Need help decoding

I am just wanting to verify the details of the truck I have been working on. I found a number which was on the drivers side of the frame by the steering box. I believe it to be a 1940 1 ton with the 85 hp flathead. If anyone could tell me where I can find a good decoder I would greatly appreciate it.

That is the proper location for the serial number.

To decode it see: Early Ford Serial Numbers For Cars and Trucks Manufactured for the USA Market from 1932 to 1953
