F10YPTO4658 26-116
YX 133 BDY 4 WDE
MN DLX RPO CUS
C X E ? J MID AFT

( between the E and the J ( where the ? is ) in the last line there is a cutout that resembles a 6 )
It is also a side oiler.
Do you have any idea what D2TE-AA stand for ? From what I've read the AA stands for PI side oiler. Does that sound right ? Thanks for your help.
Hey Beaur, to be honest I'm not sure what the other numbers/letters mean but I can tell you where to find out. Go to Ford Truck Enthusiasts forum 1973 - 1979 F-100 & Larger F-Series Trucks - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums. Register with a username/password like here and go to the '73-79 section of the forum. Post your VIN, etc and those guys will help you with all kinds of info. Ford trucks is all they do so there's a lot of good info for ya there.
