Hello ! I'm new to this site as well as the new owner of a 1964, Ford Econoline Truck. I need help decoding the vin #. The door vin # matches the rear bracket below the tail light. Just curious to see if it matches what the seller indicated was the actual year on the truck.

 

Welcome to FTE

E10 = E100 Pickup.

A = 240 1V I-6

H = Lorain OH Assembly Plant.

803930 = 1966 .. assembled January 1966.

It seems awkward, but whenever you "insert a picture" to one of these threads, the forum is looking for the picture somewhere on the web (which is always available) rather than from somewhere on your hard drive (which isn't always available).

Go to Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket and sign up for a free account. Then create an album for your truck. Upload any pics you want to post on FTE to that album. Have this album open on your computer when you want to post pics on FTE.

While you're making a post on FTE, select the pic you want to post from your Photobucket album. When the large version of the pic is open, right mouse click on it and select "View Image Info". The image info will be highlighted and will look something like this:
http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/l...ghtsafter1.jpg

Copy that highlighted info (right click / copy).

When you have the spot in your post where you want the pic to be placed, select the "Insert Image" icon at the top of the post (looks like a mountain) and paste (right click / paste) the image info you copied in the highlighted box (just shows "http://" when it opens).

Your pic will be placed in the post.

Hope that helps.

 

Hi and thanks for the info, truly appreciated. I suspected it was at least a 1965, but wasn't sure. Either way its a great truck, glad to have it.

 

Post the rest of the data on the door plate, and we can decipher that as well.

Welcome to the Econoline Club!

 

Thanks, have picked up several manuals that have helped me with the rest.

 

I don't understand the mechanics of figuring out the year. Can you explain?

 

The serial number (last 6 digits of the VIN) decode to the month/year of assembly.

1961/63 examples:

 

Thank you for your time. Can you post the numbers for 64-65. I may be taking it to the DMV. Again thank you.
