You have a newbie here. Hi youall.
Starting out with my first new problem. We recently bought a 196X Ford Econo P/U. No title or paper work of anykind. Not sure what we have. Can anyone brake down the serial number for me? It is E10TH265548. Any help will be appreciated.
Here goes. E10 is pick up model.
T is motor which is a 170 CID motor
H is the Lorain assembly plant.
265548 Is the consequetive assembly number making up the rest of the serial number. According to this number your truck is possibly a late 62 or early 63. truck
Hope that helps at clearing some things up for yah.
If jimbare sees this he usually can decipher it better. He would probally be able to pin point the year and month for you.
Oh by the welcome welcome aboard. I hope you will enjoy the FTE club here and make positive use of the resources that can be provided.
Thanks for the info 66gpw. I can't beleive the fast response. Hopefully jimbare see's this post and can provide a for sure year. We are going to try to title the P/U before any work is done on it. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Jimbare, I cant thank you enough. Now's to get the P/U titled and get started on repairs. I'm sure you will be hearing from us on a more routine basis as we start to work. Again, Thanks much. You FTE people have a Merry Xmas and Happy New Year.
