C=1941
F=COE
354=350 Series, 4=176 7/8" wheelbase
SN= 536th off the line for 350 series trucks

The 236 in the engine serial number indicates a 236 engine, although originally it could have came equipped with either the 228 or 236.

Is the rear a single speed or two speed?

The thumb lever on the shifter is the reverse lockout switch so you don't accidentally pop the truck into reverse. A huck brake rear would have had the ebrake connected through the backing plates not a driveline brake.
