Tom...in regards to your question
and add further specificity to what Easy wrote (tag station moved in the 1970's)...
When the body passed the trim tag station, it was assembled and had passed through both paint booths...first coat and second coat. At that point, the trim tag (F10 in your case), was riveted to the body.
any idea how to determine the actual "build" date? (Birthday)
The F10 on your trim tag is the time/build code (June 10th). On Wednesday, June 10th, 1970, your car passed the station on the assembly line where the trim tag was attached. It probably was not finished that day. Your shipping data report will probably show June 11 or June 12.

I guess it's possible that the number in the Paint section is correct just as I have it then?
03984AA 51
I am currently tearing the front end off and cleaning it all up.. new bushings, tie rod ends, adjusting sleeves, brake lines, radiator etc. It has the original drive train except for the intake/carb. The radiator support has seen better days but after sandblasting it I've decided to re-use it. Also going through the headlights etc. Rebuildng the original P/S pump, maybe having the steering cylinder (stamped 131 70) rebuilt and sent back to me. It's not leaking, but the shaft is slightly pitted and the ball stud seat is worn. Replacing the differential side yokes as well. Going through the steering box (I've done these before). The coil springs still have the GM labels attached... if they're legible, I'm going to try to sandblast them without losing the tags. Refinishing the exhaust manifolds. And the list goes on & on.
