Vanity visors catalog

So, I have a set of cloth Vanity visors that came out of 79 Lariat.***edit: Linc, mk-v**** They're dual vanity and the drivers side has a garage door button. These are identical to the ones in my 78, albeit cloth and the button. I listed them for sale and received a whole lot of flack about it. I know the cars had these but have we ever seen them in the trucks? Can anyone provide the catalog listings? Thanks in advance as i wish to be on the up and up. Pics soon. ***Edit: Storage box was labeled (correctly), I was completely oblivious***

I have never seen a cloth set or BOTH visors with a lighted mirror. And I never seen one with a Garage button, way cool. I have only seen the passenger side with a lighted mirror....in my blue 78 F250. Looking for the pic.

Here you go. Maybe someone will chime in and say they are 1980 visors?

Did they even have a way to open a garage door from a vehicle button in that year?

Ya. They did. That was my first thought.
Doesn’t prove anything but, the last pic has a numbered tag from the wiring.

Well. They can chime in but, looking for facts, plenty of opinions on Facebook.

Found it and it works. But man are those visors thick on both sides. Like poofy, like 1/2 thick. And only the passenger side has the mirror.

The ones in my truck are saddle and same same as yours. Found the original build sheet and they were included from the factory on my 78 EXP. These others are identical, but have cloth instead of vinyl, cloth on the insert for the lid as well.

Going off the tag on the wire harness you pictured, those visors (or at least the wire harness) are from a 70's Lincoln.
D= 70's, 4 1974, L = Lincoln, B = body.

Yes. And would be more helpful if I read the labels on the box i stored stuff in. 79 Lincoln mk-v. The lariat visors are vinyl.

Those numbers represent a bunch of little On/Off micro-switches in the opener assembly's receiver. You can see that 2 and 3 would be set to the Off position, while the rest are set to On.
