A = 330 2V MD FT gas V8. (First year for the FT. This one would have the FE crank and distributor drive, FT heads, manifolds, pistons, and other bits.)
N = Norfolk Assembly Plant
553118 = 1964 numerical series, July 1964 production
174 = 174 inch wheelbase
M = Wimbledon White
F600 = '64 to '66 F600, 17,000 lbs GVWR
E81 = I do not have clear info on upholstery and I couldn't find a match to this. Does this have a red interior and Custom Cab?
N = New Process model 435 four speed transmission --OR-- Dana (Spicer) model 5652 five speed direct transmission. (same code for both in '64/'65)
F8 = Eaton model 13802 two speed rear axle, 15,000 lbs capacity, 6.33/8.81 ratios
