Welcome to FTE

Since you are a you are prolly unaware of the 1961/67 Econoline forum (Edit: I see where you also posted this in the Econoline forum, but since I read it here first...).

Your VIN has too many digits, should have only 11, the second 0 doesn't belong. The following is correct: E10TH698140.

E10 = E100 Pickup.

T = 170 1V I-6.

H = Lorain OH Assembly Plant.

698140 = 1965, assembled June 1965.

90" Wheelbase.

3 = Vermillion.

E100 Pickup, 3,600 lbs. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating.

D82: D = Light Beige Crush Vinyl & Medium Beige Ladder Pattern Woven Plastic // 82 = ? No such body code listed for 1965/67 Econolines. Should be 87 = E100 Pickup. With a D as the first digit: Deluxe Pickup.

6 = C4 Cruise-O-Matic.

03 = Ford WCR-K 7 1/4" Rear Axle / 3.50-1 / 2,300 lb. Rear Axle Capacity.

GVW omitted.

Net HP & RPM omitted.

22 = Charlotte NC Ford District Sales Office, where the original selling dealer ordered the Econoline from.
