No 1964/72; 1973/79; 1980/89 Ford truck parts catalogs listing for an Econoline w/a 200 engine / 200 = VIN engine code T / How many Econolines have you seen w/a T VIN engine code?

The 240 I-6 was first offered an an option in 1965, but there is no truck parts catalog listing for the 300-1-6 in an Econoline until 1969 (300 VIN engine code B).

No such thing as a 1968 Econoline. New style Econoline introduced February 1968, but Ford refered to them as 1969's.

Ford is in-famous for introducing new vehicles prior to the normal September introduction.

This jazz also applied to Mustang's, introduced 4/23/1964 as a 1965 model. Mark III's introduced Spring 1968 as a 1969 model. Maverick's introduced June 1969 as a 1970 model, Rangers introduced March 1982 as a 1983 model.

1965 was the first year Canadian truck parts were listed in US parts catalogs.
