71-3 windshields are slightly smaller, to allow for windshield retaining strips 
which were installed starting in 71. The opening in the body remained the 
same. You can install any year windshield in any year type 3 as long as you 
use the right gasket and hardware for that windshield.

I think that all the aftermarket windshields are the early size, so only OEM 
71-3 windshields will be smaller.

All this applies ONLY to the US and possibly a few other markets where the 
retainer strips were sold. Elsewhere in the world they were all the same size.
