Dave@Moon Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 The D1ZB part number would indicate that it was initially designed for the 1971 Mustang. It may have been used in later years and on other models, however. Someone with a Ford parts book from that era should be able to look it up. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zack Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 D STANDS FOR A 70'S MODEL-THE ONE IS 71,THE THREE IS 73.THE 71 IS A MUSTANG,NOT SURE WHAT THE 73 BELONGS TO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave@Moon Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 The "A" stands for a full-size car. Could be a 1973 LTD, Galaxie, etc.These numbers will continue in the following years as well. If the part carried over in years following it will still have the same number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave@Moon Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 I should also mention that the numbering system tells you what the part <span style="font-style: italic">initially</span> was designed for only. If 1973 full size mirrors (either by design or to use up leftovers) were used on 1974 Comets or even 1983 trucks, then the number stayed the same. The best example is 1959 Edsel taillight lenses, which were 1958 Lincoln units stuck in bezels originally designed for a unique lens. Their part number decodes to 1958 Lincoln regardless of which car they go on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
