ok another answer the the eternal wiper arm thread :D - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I did this on mine.
I have owned it for over 35 years, wipers have never worked better.

sdwolff98 · 08-04-2017, 10:10 PM

Aggie

its a great thing to be able to get wiper blades easily now. Only thing that makes me laugh about this is that the circled automotive problem child pointed the way to this solution ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just finished doing this for my '66. Easy to do, works and looks great.

BFD305 · 08-19-2017, 10:16 PM

Just did this on my 65. These are the same wipers they use for early Bronco wiper swaps so I had a few sets in the garage.
Quick and Easy, wipers work great!

Brad54 · 08-19-2017, 11:24 PM

Was just at the junkyard yesterday getting parts for my '96 3500, and looked for some.
Besides Jeeps, these are also on the backs of some Mopar minivans.

vince1 · 07-13-2018, 03:49 PM

I was only looking at Jeeps today and found one. I'll modify it for the left and then find another for the right. Good work to the person who started this.

karlbenz · 07-13-2018, 06:52 PM

whats the advantage of this over stock replacement? just curious

vince1 · 07-13-2018, 08:03 PM

The replacements I got didn't fit properly and kept falling off, hence another use for gorilla glue.

BFD305 · 07-13-2018, 08:58 PM

@karlbenz The two advantages I see are they take a standard wiper, and they have more pressure on to the window so they wipe better. I think I have a couple extra sets if anyone is looking.

sdwolff98 · 07-21-2018, 12:06 PM

Karl,
I like these for the simple fact you can walk into any store and buy wiper blades also as BFD says they apply better pressure to the blades so they wipe better. You can get em at junkyards for about 5 bucks a piece or orders new pretty ones for about 25 a piece
Brad,
Good to know that one also

Sean

karlbenz · 07-22-2018, 09:01 AM

thanks for the input. I haven't had any issues yet but if I do I will look into that. good to know. (update) I may look harder into it seeing I could use longer wiper blades

redrocketal · 12-06-2018, 11:24 AM

Has anybody figured out a different wiper motor that is faster that possibly would work ??
Using stock or different internal arms??

sdwolff98 · 12-06-2018, 11:51 AM

Red I have not played with any no.. I bought the newport wiper kit for my truck lol. I have heard on the flat firewall you can use a 73-87 motor but not on the ones with the bucket style motor mounts.

Sean

pinturbo75 · 12-11-2018, 04:50 PM

my wiper arms must not be original. maybe and aftermarket adapter on them. anywho, I have 15" blades on mine now.

sdwolff98 · 12-11-2018, 05:03 PM

Pinturbo yup they were ANCO aftermarkets I have a set in a box of parts I got from a guy

But then again I already have modified jeep setups ready for my truck when the windshield finally goes in!

Has anyone used Trico's? http://tricoproducts.com/About/News/...assicBladeLine

RockAuto seems to have the blades and arms.

I have used those Trico Classics on my '72 El Camino and they worked great and fit correctly. I had problems with most other styles as they sat too tall for the factory hidden wiper system and would hit the back edge of the hood.

I would say if your wiper arms are in good shape, these blades would likely work well.

Those round adapters can be priceless, at times, in aligning blades to lie all the way parallel against lower w'shield rubber. Hurts to see a nice truck with wiper-ends an inch or so above w'shield bottom.

**PGSigns** · 12-17-2018, 08:09 AM

Did the jeep arms on my 66 this weekend. Work really good.
Thanks for the tip!
Jimmy

perrotta62 · 06-17-2019, 02:23 PM

Did you have to cut them down, jeep arms are little more then 4'' longer?

sdwolff98 · 06-17-2019, 03:22 PM

those must be the wrong arms then? The rear window arms are what you are needing and they are about the right length Perrotta?

Sean

perrotta62 · 06-18-2019, 10:28 AM

Ok thanks i will try it, a was just going by what the all listing say 18.75 long showing rear ones.Cheers
