Data plate translation

I was given a 5 window Econoline PUT. The individual had no idea what year it is and has no title.

The data plate reads E10TH 185311
From the info I gathered from other posts on the forum that tells me
E10 Econoline Pick up E100 1/2 ton
T is a 170 engine
L it was made in Lorain Ohio

I can't decipher the year and assembly date.

I would appreciate any help.
Ken

Here is the door-tag data decoder specifically designed for 1961-1967 Econolines. You can enter all of the doorplate data, not just the VIN.

Econoline ID dot com

FYI - In 1961, the E10 at the beginning of the VIN was the same for vans and pickups.

THANK YOU

Gentlemen,

Thank you very much for responding to my query.

I will run the rest of the data plate thru the Econoline decoder.

I will find the appropriate topic and post some photos.

Once again, thank you for your help.

Ken
