ID Plate Info /De-coding

OK, I'm pulling my '77 F250 apart for restoration. Yesterday, I pulled the grill and front fenders off for painting. On the inside of the passenger side front fender, I found a small metal tag (about the size of a credit, or business card), fastened to the inside of the fender with a thin peice of wire. It has the following info on it:

47265
1-467AS SF25 V FFRS
TK PGT VIT
7

I figured out the top 5 digits. That's the last 5 of my VIN
I'm curious about the other number / letter desigations.

Anybody know how to de-code this? And, is the little metal tag common on these trucks? I've taken a few of them apart, and this is the first tag I remember seeing. Just curious...

That is the buck tag. It's to ensure the assembly workers are putting on the right parts on.

Not exactly. Some are the same, some were different.
