You definitely came to the right place for help. The tag partially decodes as follows:
CJ = the rare Cobra Jet truck bed. Designed to deliver extra air to the mother-in-law riding back there on warm days. If it's still fully intact, you'll see a reverse-spoiler above the front of the bed that directs air down into the bed at high velocities. There was a factory recall on these because lighter weight mothers-in-law were actually being blasted out of the bed by the force of the airflow at highway speeds and left rolling in the dust by the road. Others froze on cold days. The survivors complained about badly mussed hair.
AC = the super rare factory installed truck bed evaporative air conditioning system. For when the extra Cobra Jet ram air flow doesn't keep the mother-in-law cool enough. Usually used for other purposes by the owner, so almost none are known to exist. Is yours still present? It will look like a 7-11 BigGulp cup with a
logo washcloth in it.
Not sure about the rest of the information on the tag... others here may know more about that.

It's a typo, according to the explosive expose' "Ford: The Rest of the Story" by Jack Mehoff. In chapter fourteen he documents through archived expense receipts and follow-on engineering orders that Hank the Deuce and Carroll Shelby conceived this option package during a late night out. It was supposed to be "CJ" but, well, you know. Hangovers.

Codes on buck tags (usually cannot be decoded) were used by assembly line workers to assure the correct parts that matched the build sheet were installed.

There was an old joke around dealerships, employees would call, tell the operator that their dad was waiting while his car was being serviced, could you please page Jack Mehoff.
Most of the operators fell for this ploy, then when they realized what they had done, were embarrassed and felt very foolish.
