A40211, the DSO number, indicates Midwestern District of Ford of Canada.
I have only done a few decodes with these files I downloaded, so sorry I ddin't catch that one right away.
Does it have a 5 speed transmission?
If it hasn't be registered since '67, when was the last time it was run?
Super Duty engines are very difficult to find parts for.

To be more clear it was last registered in 2003 as a 1967 Ford heavy truck. It has a 5 spd trans with a 2 spd rear axle and hydraulic brakes . Last ran about 5 years ago. Also it has the high roof cab.

IF and that's a big IF the codes run the same on engines, transmissions and axles, and run basically the same pattern as US market trucks, THEN:
F8M = Series code, probably F800 gas with M for Mercury
K = 477 4V Super Duty gas V8
U = Louisville Assembly Plant
A88064 = 1967 serquence number, serial number.
158 = 158 inch wheelbase
F8M7 = Model number, possibly equivalent to F807 which is F800 gas, 27,500 GVWR, 18,500 lb capacity rear axle with air brakes. (But you have hydraulic brakes.....)
681 = I don't have all the info for this, but the "81" part should indicate conventional cab, single rear axle, gas engine.
N = Dana (Spicer) model 6352 5 speed direct transmission
7HE = 7H I don't have rear axle info but it's probably as indicated above, 18,500 capacity. Ratios are stamped on the carrier above the two speed motor.
E = Ford-Rockwell (Timken) front axle 9,000 lbs capacity w/o HD brakes
27500 = 27,500 GVWR
222 3200 = 222 net HP @ 3200 RPM
A40211 = DSO number, indicates Midwestern District of Ford of Canada.
This is almost too spotty to post, so beware.
