Ok, I buying a 1966 Econoline pickup this weekend. I have the warranty number but can seem to find the exact number on the econoline I'd website. Here it is, E10FH863086
Here is a pic of the plate(I cleaned it the best I could)
The paint is a mess, someone thought this looked good😁
This is my winter project and will be back on here for more help im sure.
Thanks in advance,
Todd

Thanks for the info!

 

E10 decodes to E100 pickup, not to E150 Pickup...as there is no such thing.

E150 introduced in 1975, Econoline Pickup cancelled at the end of the 1967 model run.

 

i was a little questionable on that also Bill. i use VINwiz Decoder for decoding the 11 number Vin. that is the only one i have found so far that seems to work fairly reliably

 

I use Ford truck parts catalogs to decode VIN's, which are faaar more accurate than those online decoders.

 

so true, but i don't have any of those parts catalogs

 

OK gentlemen, I have a need for replacement parts(specifically the exhaust pipe and muffler... for now). I have been on Dave carpenters site, some good stuff, but almost all of it is for the F series not my E100
Do you have any suggestions? Can I just go to NAPA and order one? this is my first restoration and I need some friendly advice.
Thanks!

 

they may be able to pull up some numbers, but it will probably be very expensive.
if it was mine i would go to a muffler shop with a good reputation and have them bend you up a pipe. most good shops have pipe benders on site and make their own pipes out of tube stock.

 

Great idea! Thanks!

I entered your data on the EconolineID.com website. The original color of your truck was Arcadian Blue with a blue interior.

Find all of the details here Econoline E10FH863086

BTW. The EconolineID.com website uses the same books that the NumberDummy mentioned as well as data from many years of looking at actual Econolines. The Ford parts books are not perfect.

 

Thanks!!

 

Winter Project ? Thats what I said 3 years ago
