Need help from the Number Guru

I bought a dad/son restored F100 pickup. Im not sure what happened but the son is who sold it and I can tell he didnt know much of anything about it. From What I can gather it was put together in Canada and should have a 6 cylinder (right now it has a 352 v8)... but after that either my code book is wrong... or this pickup is a extremely odd pickup

1966 Ford F100 - Short Box

VIN NUMBER = F10BC894305
Door Tag 115 B F100 L81 C 08
05000 150 3600 L7

Also I have a Tag under the hood not sure what it is it has these number

The matching Vin Number then underneath it say:
115 B L 4A.

Welcome to FTE

F10 = F100 2WD

B = 300 1V I-6

C = Oakville, Ontario Canada Assembly Plant

894305 = 1966, Assembled in July 1966.

115" Wheelbase

B = Caribbean Turquoise

F100 2WD / 5,000 lbs. GVWR

L81: L = Medium Green Crush Vinyl & Medium Green Cody Pattern Woven Plastic // 81 = 81A Standard Cab.

C = Ford Type 3.03 3 Speed Manual all Syncromesh Transmission.

08 = Ford 9" Rear Axle / 3.50-1 / non Limited Slip / 3300 lb. Rear Axle Capacity

5,000 lbs. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating

150 net HP @ 4,000 RPM

L7 = ? No such code, it's prolly A7.

A7 = Ford of Canada-Pacific Division, where the original selling dealer ordered the truck from.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Buck Tag on the firewall was used by assembly line workers to make sure they installed the correct parts, usually cannot be decoded.

115 may refer to the wheelbase in inches, B could be the COLOR code for Caribbean Turquoise. What L & 4A refer to, I haven't a clue.
