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.

I ran it through this site VINwiz Decoder and got this.

Decoding: E10TH185311

Digit Usage VIN Decoded
1-3 Series E10 Econoline Pickup (E100 & E150)
4 Engine T L6 170
5 Plant H Lorain OH
6-8 Mod Yr/Mfg Date 185 1961 (Mfg Jun 1961)
6-11 Sequential Serial # 185311 185311


Serial numbers are sequential per plant

 

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.

 

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.
