Heres the skinny on the warranty plate...

E10= Econoline 100 series vehicle
T= 170 c.i. 6 cylinder, 1bbl carb, 85h.p.
H= Lorain assembly plant
699200= June 1965 build date...1965 model year

------------------

wb=90= wheelbase in inches
Color 3= Vermillion(Econoline only, 1965 only)
Model E100...E series model, half ton load rating
Body=D87= 87=87A=standard pickup(no rear corner windows)
D...the book isnt totally specific on this...theres 2 choice for E series... First: Medium Palomino crinkle all vinyl(89D)
Second: (Ex 87A,89D), Lt Beige crush vinyl and medium beige ladder pattern woven plastic...

Trans=A= Std Light Duty Ford 3 speed
Axle= I couldnt find a 031 let alone a 31...only a 30 or a 32...however code 3 is a 3.50 ratio open rear axle, 2.3M load rating..its code is WCR-K...I believe that would be on a tag bolted to the rear end assy near the differential

3600 is the RPM at which the cert NET hp was figured...in this case its 85HP

3800= trucks Max loaded weight with people and cargo included

22= DSO(where original selling dealer ordered it from...in this case its Charlotte.

Hope this helps...

VIN SERIES Code: E10 = E100 Pickup

MODEL code: E100 = E100 Pickup / 3600 lbs. GVWR

BODY code D87: D = Light Beige Crush Vinyl & Medium Beige Ladder Pattern Woven Plastic // 87 = 87B = Econoline Custom Pickup (89 is an Econoline Van).

AXLE code 031: 03 = Ford (WCR-K) 9" Rear Axle / 3.50-1 / non Limited Slip / 2300 lb. Rear Axle Capacity / 1 = ? No such thing.

Thanks for the correction/tweaks Bill... I looked at my 65 brochure and theres no series designation for the E series trucks or van like there is for the F series...same max payload for both too(the E seies vehicles that is)

Thanks Guys! You have been a great help. This is a great Ford Forum!

One more for you all. I was wondering about the production numbers for 65 Ford Econoline Pickup. I saw one website that stated only 7,400 were produced in 1965. Can anyone verify this number?

Thanks Again!!

7,405 total 1965 Econoline pickups were assembled.

3,065 were body style 87B = Custom Pickup.

4,340 were body style 87A = Standard Pickup.

Turn to page 134 in the Standard Catalog, refer to Note 1 for the Custom Pickup figures.
