Let's see from memory without looking it up it's a 1953 F100 built in KC KS and the 17343 one built that year. R is the engine code, but I don't remember what it stands for.
The other will give you the original color etc.

R= 239 cu in V8

Ax is right as usual. The production code isn't that easy to find though. Here are some links that might help:
