Soso, those look like Canadian codes. How do you place it as an F1? Could it be an F47? The only numbers I've seen that are close were from a Canadian 1950 F68 One ton Vin number OF83H50 - *****
You might find something you can use from this website. His stuff is mostly newer, but there are some good links that might help you. If I come across any other info, I'll let you know.

soso,
Daryl's right, Kenny might be able to help you out when he returns on December 1st or so. I think he's mostly got info for the 1957-1960 years but he's very helpful and may have some info for your specific truck.
I agree with Tim that your codes look like the truck was manufactured in Canada. I know there are a bunch of you "North Of The Border" owners out there - anybody able to decode this VIN for soso?
