F= F series conventional cab truck
10 = 1/2 ton 2WD
J = 223 6 cylinder engine, 114HP
K = Kansas City assembly plant
553996 = June 1964 build date, 1964 model truck
114 = wheelbase in inches
B = Turqoise exterior paint
F100 = model of truck
3 = base model truck with medium green crush vinyl and medium green rib vinyl
81= 81A= base model truck...a number in front of the 81 denotes a base model truck, a letter would denote a Custom Cab trimmed truck
A = 3 speed trans.
12 = DSO..where original selling dealer ordered truck from...Buffalo, N.Y.

You would be correct on the rear end ratio code...12 though is for a 3.89 ratio....if you look under the truck and see a bunch of nuts around the pumpkin on the forward side of rear axle husing, that is a Ford 9" rear end...if not its a Dana 44 if Im not mistaken...
BTW...there oughta be some other numbers after the 12 where it says DSO...if blank thats odd as I am pretty certain 64 models did show the DSO code on the door tags...

Besides the DSO, the OP also omitted the GVWR, HP & RPM.
If Limited Slip was ordered, the Spicer-Dana 44 was installed.
The Spicer-Dana 60 with or without Limited Slip was an option.
AXLE code 12 = Used 1961/64 only for this: Ford 9 inch / 3.89-1 / non Limited Slip / 3300 lb. Rear Axle Capacity.
12 was not used in 1965.
12 = 1966: Ford 9 inch / 4.11-1 / non Limited Slip / 3300 lb. Rear Axle Capacity.
