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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.
