check this site out....
remember, the vin on your door may not be the vin of your vehicle....
check the hump on the floor behind the doghouse
or the number on the brace that covers the back of the rear taill lights
hope this helps

what is it you think is different. Show some pics

Post all the info off the door tag,not just the VIN and I ll get it decoded for you.

Mind helping with mine? Just to wondering...

E14SH233025
090 N E143 A 02

Best Guess
e14 is vehicle series number
S is engine code,,,6 cyl 144 with 1V carb
H is assembly plant
the 2 in the 233 tells me its a '62
090 is wheelbase
N is color code
E143 is model
A is transmission...3 spd manual
02 is rear axle gearing...4.00 to 1

Hey EconoUSAParts
I see that you can access more info on the vans than the falcon club..
for Econolines
ie..color and month made..
can you make a copy of the codes you have for the site?

Myself and Blue Lemon are moderators at the OldEconolines website. A guy there named Mark has all the data collected from owners and junkyard vehicles over the past 25 or so years comparing whats "real" with what the Ford books say. Mark actually decoded these for you guys. The recently deceased Don English originally had all the information and Mark agreed to help out by decoding VINs for us using Dons info and junk yard notes. I can decode VINs using a copy that Don sent me years ago but Mark can be more accurate since he has all of Don's notes to go along with it. Don English and Jay Long both of California collected a lot of info over many years pertaining to VIN's along with contributions from site members over the past 12 years. People like myself and others that own vehicles that are for certain known "originals" can add a lot of useful info since we know our vehicles are original as ordered from the factory. My 66 Falcon CCW van has been in the family since new(Grandpa's van) Im the 2nd owner and drove it more than he ever did. It's info like that that really helps fill in the gaps where the books have things listed incorrectly. The 65 shop manual in particular has a lot of errors in it.
When we report VIN data to Mark(previously Don) we always include a brief description of the whole vehicle such as color,pickup or van,window configuration,engine,trans,seat count and style,padded dash and glove box or not,side trim,floor mat colors,chrome or painted accessories,and anything else useful. That info has taught us a lot over the years.

As far as posting the chart here,it isnt as easy to use as you might think so its probably best left to a pro like Mark since he has all the info available to him. Jay also has the info to do it. I hold my own at it but its fairly time consuning for people like me without much spare time. Additionally,if I refer folks to Mark,he in turn can add those new VINs to the database for additional info collection which helps us all.

Hey Econo
That is a good deal...and good for the site
