AZ Hard to come by original Stainless Trico Wiper blades - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**1774btcrew** · 04-20-2012, 09:09 PM

This is a pair of hard to come by OEM Trico Made in USA Stainless wiper blades. These are original equipment on the 1973-1980 Chevy/GMC pick-ups, suburbans and blazers. I didn't realize how relatively hard they are to find until I went to look for a set for my 77 GMC crewcab. Over the years many truck owners got lazy and just replaced the whole blade instead of just getting refills for the original. In my opinion these are absolutely necessary to make your resto or resto custom look right. I want $25 for the pair.

$25 shipped to 76522?

Guys the price doesn't include shipping. I paid $15 for the pair. It wouldn't make sense to make less than $5 on them with the time involved in packing and shipping. If anyone is interested at my price and is willing to pay shipping let me know.

hey bud, I did not mean any personal offense just throwing an offer out there. We are all truck guys looking for deals. A simple "nope" would have been fine. Regardless, its a nice product and GLWS

ChevySean79 they all yours if you want em.

No worries! I didn't take any personal offense at all. I was just trying to explain why these were priced like the were. When I purchased these I didn't plan on getting rich on them just didn't want to lose money. I know these are hard to come by and the trucks just look so much better with the OEM blades. Trying to help my fellow squarebody owners out with a good price on the small parts so in the future maybe they will buy some other more expensive parts from me.

I'll take them if the're not already claimed

88Jimmy4x4 · 04-22-2012, 02:41 PM

problem with the originals is you cannot find refills for them, they are narrower than whats offered now.

good luck with the sale

I have never had any problem finding refills for these. I just put a new set on lazt week. This is actually a very common size. All vw Rabbits ran this size and there were literally millions of them made.

I will check shipping right now. Sending PM as well.

**1774btcrew** · 04-23-2012, 04:31 PM

Just checked shipping. Should be $7 anywhere in the USA and takes 2-3 days to get there.

76stepsidechevy · 05-03-2012, 12:25 PM

Just got my set yesterday. They look great, thanks! Were you able to use the refills autozone has for these or do i need to go to napa?

I am glad you got them and are pleased. I actually picked up my wiper refills at Walmart since I was there at the time.

**old Rusty C10** · 05-07-2012, 09:08 AM

there was just one pair? gow many pairs are you selling?

**1774btcrew** · 05-07-2012, 02:35 PM

I had two pairs. I keep my eyes open for these as I know they are hard to come by and the squarebodies just really don't look right without them.

count me in for an automatic sale on the next pair. thx,dave

76stepsidechevy · 05-07-2012, 08:12 PM

I was able to get the refills at napa pn 60-1612 and the guy also showed me a full replacement that was almost identical. The only difference I noticed was they didn't say trico on them like the originals. They were napa branded "classic" wipers, not sure what they cost and not trying to take away from a sale here but I think they'd be a great alterative if an original set can't be found.

Are they still available? Do you accept PayPal?
