By the way, here is a picture of it. its all original besides the slot mags

Nice looking Econo picup. Hopefully some of the Ford guys can help you out soon. Tom

Do you mind me asking what you would pay for something like that in Norway?

he got it from California last year i think, so i don't know what the cost would be here, but probably around 7000 us++

I'm new to this site and by no means claim to be a vin decoder. By the picture it looks to be one of those rare Spring Specials. They were only produced May thru June of '65. I have been told by a reliable sourse there were 2000 to 2500 made. Some say only 95 were made, however, I haven't found any data to back that up. The closest I can come to the Vin # is:

E10 - Econoline pickup
T - 170 size engine
H - Lorain Ohio assembly plant
687892 - May 1965 serial number
090 - Wheelbase
3 - Poppy Red paint
E100 - 1/2 ton pickup model
D - Beige custom interior (Custom Equipment Package)
87 - Pickup body style
A - 3 Speed transmission
The last 3 numbers (031) Im not sure of, unless you meant to say 01 in which case it would be 3.50:1 light duty rear axle (7 inch)

Hope this helps you out. By the way, NICE looking truck!!

Thanks alot organ grinder!

I re-checked, and the last 3 numbers are 031, the rear axle is a 9 inch, dunno if it's original.

Aaahhhh yes, you are correct on the 031, I stand corrected. I was looking at a Quick Sheet that I carry folded in my wallet and the crease was hiding the 3. Sorry about that, like I said in my earlier post " I'm not a vin decoder" Anyway, the 031 shows it's a 3:50:1 gear ratio, light duty rearend. You very well could have a 9 inch as somebody might have changed it, but, make sure it's a 9 inch. I know in my truckin travels I found one in a field and at first glance I thought it had a 9 inch when I looked under it, but when I got it home and took a closer look it was a 7 inch. They look similar but of course the 9 inch is bigger. In any case, the 7 inch would be more original and the 9 would be stronger if you plan on putting a larger engine in.

i'll have to tell my friend to take a new look at his rear axle, he is not planning to put a bigger engine in it, he will try to keep it as original as possible.
