I just bought a early panel econoline and the guy said it was a 1962. I am thinking it may be later. I thought it had a 144 motor but now thinking its a 170. Any help with decoding this vin would be great. Here is the vin I found stamped in the back corner.
Glad to be here! I am pretty sure that is the vin I took off yesterday but I may be wrong. I will have to check it out tonight. I have had a lot of trouble just trying to figure out the year with this vin, so it make since.
something is still wrong. there should be a number at the very start of the vin before the E.
i have 5 different vin decoders and none of then recognize that number.

January 1964 would be my guess. The VIN looks fine, but I'm not the VIN expert.
There is a little triangular shelf/support between the dashboard and the steering column. The two bolts holding it to the steering column: horizontal in 1961-1963 (heads point towards seat), vertical in 1964 (heads point towards roof).
65 = Oklahoma City OK Ford District Sales Office, where the original selling dealer ordered the Econoline from.

This 11 digit VIN is 100% correct. The 11 digit VIN is essentially the same for all series of 1961/80 Trucks, Econolines and 1966/80 Bronco's.
17 digit VIN introduced in 1981. The first digit is a number, decodes to the country of origin. 1981/96 examples: 1 = USA / 2 = Canada / 3 = Mexico.

actually, Bill, i was referring to the older car VIN that starts with a number to designate the year.
all 3 of my 11 digit VIN decoders called that an incomplete VIN because it did not have the year number.

Do you have the rest of the codes on the data plate?
I'm looking at the different forums here at ford-trucks.com, and I think your P100 belongs on the Large Truck discussion board.
Let me know when the ice cream is ready.
