Jimbare says that this truck is a 67'. I would love to have somebody complete the nameplate data translation. Thanks.....

(data on tag/top to bottom):

E14AHB68143
090 L E142 389 C 07
04930 129 4000 17
Thanks, bill in md.

 

I can help a little:

090 = 90" wheelbase
L = dark green paint
The "A" in the Serial No. means it has the big 240 CID 6 cylinder engine.
The "H" in the Serial No. means it was made in Lorain.

 

Thanks friend! I greatly appreciate the assistance. Now if someone else know what "E142, 389, C, 07" translates too the mystery of the 67' will be solved***

 

Friend, if Jimbare tells you something, TAKE IT TO THE BANK it'll cash.

E14 = Econoline van (short body)

Jim, Thanks much for taking the time to help. For the longest time I thought it was titled in '68. My pap and me have made the drivetrain switch over to the '62. Engine/trans/axles/etc. The old man attached heavy pieces of angle iron to frame which allowed using 67' mounts.
The worst part for me was chopping out the little sheetmetal hump in the bed from another pickup which allows using the longer engine. Couldn't use a torch because everything was so dry, didn't want to set the yard on fire. Truck looks great and runs fine. That ol' man, they don't make'm like him anymore.
Thanks again Jim, and you others, for solving this mini mystery! bill
