Hard to come by original Stainless Trico Wiper blades
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.

Re: Hard to come by original Stainless Trico Wiper blades
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.

Re: Hard to come by original Stainless Trico Wiper blades
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.

Re: Hard to come by original Stainless Trico Wiper blades
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.

Re: Hard to come by original Stainless Trico Wiper blades
problem with the originals is you cannot find refills for them, they are narrower than whats offered now.
good luck with the sale

Re: Hard to come by original Stainless Trico Wiper blades
Just checked shipping. Should be $7 anywhere in the USA and takes 2-3 days to get there.

Re: Hard to come by original Stainless Trico Wiper blades
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.

Re: Hard to come by original Stainless Trico Wiper blades
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.

Re: Hard to come by original Stainless Trico Wiper blades
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.
