Here's something to start with...
F10 = F100, d = 223 ci 6 cylinder engine, 6 = 1956, u = the manufactoring plant symbol - sorry no help with this, 74849 is the consecutive unit number starting at 10001.
5000 = gross vehicle weight.
110 is our wheel base
120 is the horsepower rating of the engine at 900 rpm - this seems a little low for the rpm rating.
The first 3 is original transmission = 3 speed.
3.73 is the rear axle
R = Torch Red (the original color of the truck - also the same color as "Vermillion" that was used on earlier trucks).
Finally - the trucks birthdate and production code. The 30 = the day of the month. L = December. 319329p ??? I have not been able to find answers to the rest of the numbers sequence.
Heck, December 30th 1956 - with the body style change in 1957, it look like you have one of the last 56's made. Cool!! And welcome to the forum!!

U Mf plant is Louisville so it didn't get too far from its birthplace
I'd bet rpm is 2900?
L is November (Ford didn't use 'I' cause it looked like his '1' stamp)
Last string of numbers is 'car produced' according to my stuff.
