What's the correct windshield wiper refill length for '70 C10?
 
I drove my truck to my dads house Thanksgiving day and ended up leaving it there. (Bought a Nissan pickup the next day and ended up driving it home). Anyway I know my wipers are bad and need new refills because we are forecast to get rain. Everything I'm seeing says 15" but I don't think mine are that long. For some reason I'm thinking 13". Are they the same for all 67-72 or are some different?

Thanks buddy. I gotta grab a set before I go to get it. I have put one set on a few years back and for some reason I got 13" on my mind.

My local store didn't carry 15", but 16" fit just fine.

I did a little research and found that the part number for Anco refills to fit the stock Trico stainless holder is U-15-R. I called around and an AutoZone not too far from me had three sets at $6.99 ea. Got them on the 71 GMC in about 5 mins and work great. You have to ask for that PN. Otherwise they are like a deer in the headlights. Counter jockey at the zone d that they are sending a lot ofthese back to their warehouse due to inactivity.

Thanks for the number....doing a quick google search...rockauto sells them for 3.23...you can use the 5% off code but shipping is 8.34 or something similar. However, if you're like me and have 20plus pair of wipers with bad inserts :lol: it makes it work out well because shipping stays at 8 something with 20sets...

These have metal clips instead of the plastic ones.The arms are silver instead of black also.

If I remember correctly you can actually run up to a 17 in blade

Yep, you're correct. I'm using a 17 inch blade on my truck and it fits and works just fine.

Well, it says NAPA on the package.... it's probably available at NAPA auto parts stores. :)

"Not available online" but then it gave me the option to buy online, and I was able to put it in the basket & proceed to checkout. I stopped before entering my info but it looks like it should work, in case there's no NAPA stores near you.
