The last four digits are a special order code, the truck was ordered and not bought "off the lot"
I'm sure someone else will pop in and fix the little things I couldn't tell you.
Uh...after you've decoded 100's of these plates....

131" wheelbase: 1967/72 F100/350 only / If this truck was a 1966 F100 Styleside, it would have a 129" wheelbase.
175 net HP is a 360 2V. With a 131" wheelbase: 1968/72 / 1965/67 352: 172 net HP.
You cannot assume that T is beige, or that E is a red interior, because Ford changed the codes more often than women change their minds!
Depending on the year/vehicle, T could be Candy Apple Red or Tahoe Turquoise or Sahara Beige, or...
E (1965/72) could be red, it could be dark red or burgundy. It could be vinyl/woven plastic (1965/66) or (1967/72) all vinyl, or vinyl and cloth. It all depends on the specific year.
82 is the body code...but not for any F Series truck, it was used for 1969/74 Econoline Club Wagons. What Econoline came with a 360 engine? None.
The body code should be 81.
The AXLE code of 08 decodes to one thing one year, something different another year.
131" wheelbase, F110 MODEL code w/a GVWR of 5600 lbs (1972 is 5200 lbs.), 08 AXLE code, 360 engine: This could be a: 1968, 1969, 1970 or 1971 F100 4WD.
These reasons and more are why you need the parts catalog to decode all this jazz. Guessing, assuming (and copying info I've posted for 1964/66's) doesn't cut it.
So the color code were wrong and axle, but everything else looks to be good! and I even stated that I knew those weren't complete answers, Good to have ya back!
BTW: hopefully gettin a new job this upcoming week, and more than likely with y first paycheck I'll get the books, reason I haven't yet is because I currently don't even make enough to pay for all of my gas just getting to school.
And I also copied 61-63s... lol
