E14AHA01207.
E14 = E100 Van.

A = 240 1V I-6.

H = Lorain OH Assembly Plant.

A01207 = 1967 ~ Assembled August 1966 / A01207 is your Econoline's specific serial number.

The 240 was introduced for model year 1965.

A 1963 Econoline would have either a 144 I-6 (VIN engine code S) or a 170 I-6 (VIN engine code T).

If a 1963, the serial number (last 6 digits of the VIN) would have fallen within serial number: 325,001 thru 445,000.
