Hey Shifty, On my '71 Jimmy and old '67 Suburban I have those double-bladed wipers. The smallest they make is 16" which works fine. They even make sets of triple fins to clip onto the wiper arm, so air flow forces the wipers down on the windshield. Of course they sell them in the cheazy aftermarket goodie section of Checker Auto stores, so you may have missed them. Only drawback is the wiper frames are made of plastic which can deteriorate in the Arizona sun with continued exposure. (But what doesn't?)
I pulled the set off the Orange '68, [they were shot] and went with stock wipers, to acheive the classic look, but the double wipers still work good on the GMC.
