K...According to my parts books it breaks down as follows:
F10=F100
J= 223 C.I. 6 cyl. engine, 1 bbl 114hp@3600rpm
R=Built @ San Jose, Ca
540904= May 1964 build....EARLY May...break off starts at 540,000 for May
Body:681= 6- all Black vinyl interior, 81-conventional cab
Trans=F-4 spd Warner T98A or T18
Color B= Black
DSO=734290= Salt Lake City(73) the last 4 are the order number...it was specially ordered....
Rear axle=B5 Spicer60.2 w/4:10 ratio (3.3M) rating
I had a hard time finding the rear axle code...was for F100 onlysounds like it was a light duty rock crawler considering it had a 6 w/4:10 gears in rear...basic black all around...to me it sounds like a relatively odd combonation compared to most 1/2 tons....but was ordered this way special....I hope it survived withoput too much rust out....you got a good gas mileage puller....a keeper to me...
Hope this helps ya out....cs65
All info is from Master Ford Parts Booksdated 9/68 and 1/69

thanks for the quick reply. Everthing seems right except the truck is turquoise the firewall and dashboard are the same and I know this is original. It has a black vinyl seat. Its geared real low. It really winds out on the hiway at about 50 mph. This truck was my dad's he has owned it since 1972. He can no longer drive and is giving it to me. This is a Montana truck and has no rust except rot under the battery tray due to a leaking battery. Fun truck to drive the only thing I plan to change on the truck is maybe different gears in the rearend to make it a better hiway driver and new tires & wheels. It has the original wheels with p215r75 15 tires
