‘64 F-600 data plate decode

I’m thinking of buying a ‘64 F-600 that’s for sale locally but I’m having some trouble decoding the data plate (my CD copy of the truck MPC isn’t loading.) Can anyone help? I’ll list the items I can’t decode. Here’s the info:

VIN: F60CH464242

Wheelbase: 156
Color: J
Model: F600
Body: 681
Trans: F
Axle: F1
DSO: 35

Thanks!
