F35 = F350 Pickup.
J = 460 4V
K = Kansas City MO Assembly Plant.
X01630 = 1975.
Warranty Plate riveted to the left door face below the latch. Post a pic of it, or type the info. All can be decoded.
Note: Even though introduced in 1974, Super Cab's were not defined as such in the VIN until 1977. There are no codes stamped on the Warranty Plate that define a Camper Special.

I'm not going to bother decoding the Safety Standard Certification Label pictured in post #3.
The VIN was previously decoded, the other jazz printed on it is self explanatory.
155" Wheelbase.
MP: M = Wimbledon White / P =
not listed for 1975 US trucks (prolly a parts catalog error). P is listed as Light Gold for Canadian trucks.
F358 = F350 Pickup; 9,300 lbs. GVWR
L8M: L8 = Light Ginger & Medium Ginger Vinyl / M = Super Cab.
G = C6.
36J: 36 = Dana 70 Rear Axle / 3.73-1 / 7,400 lbs. Axle Capacity // J = Power Steering.
9,300 lbs. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating.
1975.
71 = Los Angeles (SoCal) Ford District Sales Office, where the original selling dealer ordered the truck from.
