There is no such code as a 1 for a transmission.
Best to just post a picture of the label.... upload the picture onto Photobucket or some such (or maybe even an Album here on FTE) and use the IMG code (aka BB Code) to have the picture show up in a post.

OK, here are your pictures, I should be able to get to the decoding stuff later this afternoon/tonight. 
BTW that thing looks pretty good. It's obviously been repainted.
BTW2 - Since we already know you have an automatic overdrive transmission, that TRANS code is therefore a T but part of it's been partially obscured somehow.
Look at the 1 characters elsewhere on that sticker, they don't look the same as that one (it's missing the horizontal line at the bottom of the vertical line).
All but two of the possible TRANS codes are letters and not numbers.

I can decode it for Chris and save him some time today... 
Vin number breakdown:
1FT = Ford Truck USA : Complete Vehicle
D = Hydrallic Brake system and GVWR Class = 5001-6000 lbs
F15 = F-150 : 4x2 : Regular Cab/Super Cab pickup
F = Engine : 302 / 5.0L V8
4 = Ford internal use only "AKA: Check Digit"
B = Year of Manufacture = 1981
N = Plant Of Manufacture : Norfolk Truck Plant
A62851 = Production sequence number
--------------------------------
Exterior Paint Colors:
4J = Dark Spruce Metallic
9A = Wimbeldon White
The truck was originally a tu-tone... Possibly something similar to this... or just the top of the cab was white...
-----------------------------------
Type GVW:
F151 = 5450 GVWR
-------------------------------------
Body Code:
CR4 =
C = Seat trim = B/Cloth and Vinyl Bench Seat
R = Interior Color = Spruce
4 = Back of cab code = Styleside pickup box (Code 99)
--------------------------------------------------
Trans code
T = Automatic FIOD
---------------------------------
Axle Code:
15 = Ford = Capacity 3750 = 3.25 ratio = non limited slip.
-----------------------------------------
DSO Code
26 = New Orleans District Sales Office
Hope This Helps...
