1979 Ford van VIN

I just got 1979 Ford van with a 351Windsor. It's VIN is E11HHFC9147. Can anyone help me figure out what I have in my driveway. I am trying to work on it. Can not find anything on this vin or on the van itself. Thanks.

Hi James,
I surfed a bit and tried my usual VIN decoder site:
VIN Decoder | fleet.ford.com

but the site only goes back as far as 1982. No joy.

Thanks for looking into this for me. I broke down and called Ford who helped me out. I have a 1979 E-150 with a 351W 2bb. I am trying to find oem parts for it now. The people who had it before me put a lot of aftermarket parts. I am now trying to fix that in a big way

You are welcome, James. My '88 Club Wagon was delivered in February to me on a rollback. haha About 2K worth of parts later, it's as good as it ever was plus some updated bits like remote entry, rearview camera, etc. These vans are just too good to throw away. LOL

Best of luck with yours,
jim

I am using it as a work van. Just like the way it looks. And it does everything I need it to do.
