well im no expert but ill start you off.
f10=f100
C=292 Y-block v-8
dont remember what the 9 means and k would be the plant of production followed by the production number.
the wheel base in 110 inches, meaning its a short box and i forget the rest of it. Im sure one of the number gurus will be along shortly to give you the full and correct decoding. And Welcome to the boards and the best group of ford attics anywhere. By the way post pics so we can all see your baby.

Welcome to FTE

F10 = F100 2WD

C = 292 2V

9 = 1959 *

K = Kansas City Assembly Plant

22502 = Numerical Sequence of Assembly (Serial Number)

110" Wheelbase

G = April Green (exterior color)

F10C = F100 2WD, 5,000 lbs. GVWR

27M = Assembled December 27, 1958 *

A = Ford Light Duty 3 Speed Manual Transmission

AXLE code omitted

5,000 lbs. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating

158 net HP @ 4,000 RPM

* Some states back then registered new vehicles the year they were first sold, not by the actual model year.

btw: It's a Flareside, a Stepside is a (gasp) Chevrolet

It should have one, because...

All 1957/60 F100/1100's have a hydraulic clutch. The parts are specific for certain models.

Flareside is a FoMoCo Trade Mark, Stepside is a GM Trade Mark.
Only those that are Lazy don't use the Correct terminology & Laziness breeds contempt.

As N.D. stated, they all came w/ them, unless of course they had Ford-O-Matic's installed.
