Most of my vin info doesn't go beyond F4/400's, but I make it to be 1957.

F6 is the series
J - engine 223 cid 6 cyl
7 - year
U - Louisville, KY
47036 - consecutive unit number

Date code 03 J .......

J = September, first year production (1956).
03 = 3rd day of month.

What you have is a 1957 model year truck, which was built on september 3, 1956.

Yeah It was a tow truck so i'm going to leave it that way and redo it from the push bumper in the front to the sling in the rear it's not in too bad of shape as it is but it's not show ready by a long shot but it will be!
