1965 Ford door panel decode

Recently joined the FTE with restoration in mind. Obtained the Ford of my dreams and need help with the complete identification from door panel.

VIN F10JK696882

Door tag is;

115J F100 581 A 09 5000 129 4000 64

I believe from scratching the truck paint was red originally only can not seem to identify the balance. I understand the VIN but the panel code escapes my ability. A web search was futile.

A Sage once stated, doing the same thing over and over while expecting a different result was insanity!

You asked for your decode yesterday on another thread. I decoded it for you there.

I have looked all over and am so inept I can't find your reply yesterday. I manage to find my request but there's nothing following the note.

Maybe you could help me find the darn thing.

Thanks for all your trouble.

Geez Don, I found the Saber's decode in 10 seconds by clicking on docno .. then "find all back posts by docno." He's a with a whopping 6 posts.

docno hijacked another members decode thread that I decoded the info, then asked for decode there.

I wonder if docno refers to Doctor No? If so, he musta parked his tardis on another planet in outer Galiffrey!

btw: Weasel called, said he's moving to MO, asked my opinion. I told him he was nuts! What the hell will he do there? He gets lost here as soon as he backs out of driveway!
