data tag plate decode

I have a 1978 f250, on the firewall are two id tags. They are both the same. I can understand the vin but the rest of it I cannot. It looks like this.

F26SRAE4XXX 6-445

SA 133 BDY 4 R


1C46 REG CUS RKR

A FX BOTH
any ideas what all this means.

Thanks Brutus 400.

This is a "Buck Tag." The codes on Buck Tags are used by assembly line workers to assure the correct parts are installed that match the build sheet.

Most of these codes cannot be decoded.

If you want codes decoded: Warranty Plate riveted to the left door face below the latch. Safety Standard Certification Label glued to the B pillar below the striker plate.
