Welcome to FTE

E10 = E100

S = 144 1V 1-6

H = Lorain OH Assembly Plant

191740 = 1961, assembled July 1961.

90" Wheelbase

A = Raven Black

E104 = Incorrect, should be E140 = Econoline Van **

A = Ford 3 Speed Light Duty Manual Transmission

02 = Ford 7" Rear Axle / 4.00-1 / non Limited Slip / 2300 lb. Rear Axle Capacity.

79 net HP @ 4,000 RPM

** E104 is a pickup. If the MODEL code does show E104, the left door has been changed, which means some/all of this info is in-correct.

What happened was: The original left door was damaged, and replaced with a used door from a pickup.

When this occured, whoever did this...forget to install the original Warranty Plate on the replaced door.
