Unless someone else beats me to it, I will get back on this Tuesday. For now I can tell the engine code is a 361 2V. The Dayton type wheels are a 99.99% guarantee that you don't have widow makers. More later.

F70 = F700

E = 361 2V gas V8, FT engine

V = Kentucky Truck Plant

J93238 = 1971 series number

156 = 156 inch wheelbase

J = Red

F700 = F700 gas, 22,000lbs GVWR

418 = Standard cab, I do not have upholstery and seat info

M = Clark model 285V five speed direct transmission

552
55 = Rockwell model H170 Single Speed Rear Axle / 7.17-1 / 17,500 lbs. Rear Axle Capacity.*
2 = Ford model 5500 front axle without power steering, 5,500lbs capacity

22000 = 22,000lbs GVWR

182 3800 = 182 certified net HP @ 3800 RPM

160021
16 = Philadelphia District Code
0021 = Special Order Number. Not engine, trans or axles or paint......

*Thanks to Numberdummy on another 1971 decode for this info.

If something doesn't match up, let me know. Good luck with it!
