1984 Ford E-350 Econoline Incomplete Vehicle Data Plate - VIN & GVWR Label

This is a photograph of a Ford Motor Company certification/data plate (Safety Compliance Certification Label) for an incomplete vehicle. The label states "INCOMPLETE VEHICLE MANUFACTURED BY FORD MOTOR COMPANY, MADE IN U.S.A." It lists a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of 10,000 lb / 4,535 kg and shows the Vehicle Identification Number 1FDJE37L3EHA28337. Below the VIN is a code table with columns for wheelbase (WB), TYPE-GVW, BODY, TRANS, AXLE, TAPE, DSO, and SPRING. The visible values are: WB 176, TYPE-GVW E375, BODY AA, TRANS G, AXLE 53, SPRING 4M J, and DSO/order number 160027. The label part number E4TA-18173-AA is printed vertically on the right edge. The exterior paint colors field is faded/blank. To the left of the data plate, part of a separate red-lettered "Vehicle Noise Emission Control Information" sticker is visible. From this document a reader can learn the vehicle's VIN, its 10,000 lb GVWR, that it was shipped as an incomplete vehicle (typical of cutaway/chassis units awaiting body upfit), and its factory build codes for wheelbase, body, transmission, axle, and springs.
