79 Warranty Plate Decoding Help

I just bought a 79 F150 351M C6 2WD, and am in the process of trying to figure out what it's natural state is supposed to be. I was hoping someone would be able to help me translate this warranty plate info:

F15HNEC3071

133 / 6 / F151 / DA4 / K / 13J

06150 / 1979 / 17

Thanks in advance!
