Door plate decode request

Hi - can't seem to find this info elsewhere on the site. I had no problem decoding the vin (1974 F350 460 San Jose plant), but would like help decoding the door plate info, if possible. Just looking to ensure my truck is as original as possible.

Here goes: 140 MT F356 N 4 G D6J DSO71

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the help. Based on that, and using a 1976 list of codes, I know I have a Wimbledon White body with a Candyapple Red roof, a C6 automatic, and the DSO was Los Angeles. The other codes, other than wheelbase and model, are still an unknown. Anyone else have any insight?

Thanks. Tobacco interior? Yikes, my interior is red cloth seat with read door panels, headliner, and door panels. Any way to prove I have an XLT?

Thanks - that's a relief! I know you've posted most of the codes for '73-79 Ford's, but 1974 seems to be missing. Will you be posted that in the future? Thanks again for your help.
