It means that your box was originaly on a F 150 that is four wheel drive and came with the 300 inline 6. If your truck is different, the boxes may have been swaped.

Those tags were installed at various places on the 73-9s. Most, I think, were screwed to the firewall behind the air cleaner. they usually have the vin, paint, axle and trans codes along with other numbers/letters sometimes. Sometimes seems like they use some different coding on these tags versus the regular door tag.
