Different sun visor sizes?

[Marc]

Going through my junk the other day looking for a decent pair of sun visors to use. I came across one marked
B7A 7034104CAN, which I guess would be a part number for a Canadian model.
It's a little taller than the other cardboard visors I had. I had always assumed the visors were pretty much the same across all models other than being cardboard or vinyl.
I know the Custom series had a taller windshield than the Fairlanes. Were the visors taller as well to compensate?

B7A 7034104-CAN

B7A - IDENTIFIES 1957 FORD
70  - IDENTIFIES BODY CODE
04104 - BASIC PART NO FOR VISOR
CAN - PN SUFFIX - IDENTIFIES TRIM LEVEL/COLOR

Thanks Kultulz, that's a very helpful diagram.
Apparently that 3rd digit is a 0, not a 3, and that's the part number that would be correct for a body style 73 car.
Makes me wish I had a matching set now.

Correct, 3rd digit in the BASIC PN is 0.

Now don't forget they come RS (04) and LS (05) on some applications.

PN SUFFIX CAN is not shown in FINAL ISSUE CATALOGING as most likely it was discontinued and deleted earlier.
