F15= F150
H = Engine = 351M
C = Plant where built > Ontario Truck Canada
EA -5555 = Consecutive build number (my Guess in Oct/Nov 78)
133 = wheelbase = 133"
F-151 = Pick-up code = 6150 lb Gvwr
Transmission =K =
Axle 13 = 2.75 open diff
x = ? (never seen this before)
1979 = year of truck
45= DSO (where truck was sent to ) = Lansing Michigan
You're missing a 3 digit body code with it possibly ending in 4

That's called a buck tag and assembly line workers match the content of the build,, from that tag
One on the firewall & one on the bed underneath.
You better check that H (351M) for being a B (300)

If the door has been replaced then no.
The rating plate from the original door, should have been put on the replacement door.
Check the top rail of the frame on the passenger side for the
vin # stamped into it > it is between the rad & firewall.
