windshield wiper blades for a 62

where is the best place to get windshield wiper blades for my 62? I was looking at the ones that they have at classic industries and was wondering if anybody had any trouble with those?

Talking Re: windshield wiper blades for a 62

Never bought anything from them yet. LMC Truck has them for the same price. I'm pretty sure all of the come from the same manufacturer. I bought mine years ago at the local parts store. $7.99 - $8.99.

There like 13" or something.

What I am planing to do to my truck is to make some from some Rain-X or Bosch Wiper Blades. I have the Bosch styles on all of my other vehicles. I love'em. Alot of these import compact cars have the same 13" length. I checked a while back.

These will be better for the wrap around windshields.

yeah...13" blades. I get mine from O'Reily's, or Auto zone. Either way around $6.99-$8.99

Re: windshield wiper blades for a 62

I bought a pair of blades from Classicparts a couple of years ago, but was disappointed because they were only 12” long. It doesn’t seem like much of a difference, but 12” blades leave a lot more of the center and top of the windshield uncleared compared to 13” blades. This becomes a bigger disadvantage in the snow.

I ended up assembling a combination of older red dot parts along with Rain-X blade refills to go back to 13” blades.
