I can help you out a little,there are plenty of others who really are the experts,one will be along shortly.
F10=F100,half ton
J =engine code,223 c.i.
9 =model year,1959
R =plant,San Jose,Ca.
30781=consecutive number
Color E= Colonial White
Date=31 March 1959 (?)
Transmission A=standard 3 speed
Axle 02a(?)=I think this means 3.89 axle ratio
Like I said,I'm no expert.If I'm mistaken,someone will be along shortly,to give you the correct info,and to rip me a new one.Steve.
P.S. - GO BROWNS
