Canadian VIN decode

I just got my VIN for the 56 F100 and can decode most of it, just wondering about a couple of digits. Haven't been able to find a decoder that decodes the full number.
It is 4831010TK-18833 18 28 3-STD 3.73
4-Model Series
83-Pickup and Express
10-??
10-??F100 body style
T-Model Year 56
K-built in Oakville
18833-serial number

18-Trim-CGA gray vinyl and green woven plastic
28-Paint-Killarney green
3-STD - 3 speed standard
3.73 - rear gear ratio

01143B - body number ???not sure what this means

Is it correct that the VIN plate is supposed to be on the inside of the glove box or is it supposed to be on the driver's front pillar?

Thanks,
Rob

Looks like you must have a very late production 1956 as its in the 1957 VIN format.
4831010TK-18833
4 - Ford V-8
83 - Pickup
10 - F-100
10 - 110" Wheelbase
T - 1956
K - Oakville Assembly Plant
18833 - Consecutive truck built

The vin plate is supposed to be on the glove box door.

Hey 51dueller thank you for the information, much appreciated. That second 10 was driving me nuts, could not find what it meant. Thanks again.
