Default 73 conv sunvisor question

Somebody clue me in to what this visor should look like. In catalogs they look like a 62, you know a screw attachment on each end. But this car has one that can swing around and shade the side window. What's right?

Thanks for the picture. The ones on mine look more like a 77 up. They hinge on the metal pin receiver in the upper corner. No screw holes in the upper trim. I suppose that somehow someone changed this along with the dash and rear end!!!

You are probably right, been switched. The swing out sunvisors were not avail. till 79-82. I think?

Changed dash and rear end? By rear end, do you mean the axle or the rear body work? If body work, are you sure you have a '73?

Good question, maybe he could post some pics, or describe the rear and other issues.
