I thought the second digit was always a number as the first digit is the decade (i.e 1980) and the second digit was for the specific year in that decade.
I assumed it was the customer that was mistaking "0" for "O". Whenever I search for a part (i.e. PartsVoice or such) I always enter the part twice, once with a O and then again with a 0.

Type a number into partsvoice.com or rearcounter.com with the 2nd digit as an O and see how many parts you'll find. Then type it with a zero. You'll find more O's than 0's.
Carpenter's parts usually have the zero. But Green Sales and many others use the letter O.
And Carpenter goofed, all the parts that have the letter O as the 3rd digit of the prefix (Fairlane/Torino/LTD II), DC used a zero instead.
I called DC and spoke with someone I know there (Tom, ex-Ford parts guy that waits on customers). Carpenter is aware, but Tom said he doubts they'll fix it.
