it's a long bed 131" and the color code shows a two tone TM (Candy Apple Red & Wimbleton White). Here is the VIN code detector for 1970:

Does it appear that your truck has been repainted? If not it's possible that the door has been replaced in the past and this warranty plate (VIN) is for another vehicle. Often times people would change doors and not put the original warranty plate on the replacement door. You can verify your original VIN number by looking on the frame. Here is the way to verify the VIN is correct: Finding Your Truck's VIN - FORDification.com

Easiest way to tell difference between short bed (115" wb/6 1/2") and long bed (131" wb/ 8') style side bed is the short bed has 2 stake pockets per side, and the long bed has 3 stake pockets.
