Wiper arm and blades P/N's that work, FYI - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

earl84 · 02-17-2016, 10:46 AM

My truck had no wiper arms when I bought it, so I purchased some stainless steel arms from LMC. Not great, to say the least. The quality was so-so, but more important, the top 2 inches or so of the blade was never in contact with the windshield, and the center of the blade contact was not very good, either, making them almost worthless.

Somewhere I ran across a part number for wiper arms that are adjustable in length and wiper blade angle, and they work great, the full blade is clearing the window, they park perfectly, the length is perfect. Just thought I'd pass this along, I've been looking for a good solution off and on for over a year.

Trico part number 51-151 for the wiper arm. They are a dull silver finish. About $12 apiece at O'Reilly Auto Parts.
Anco part number 31-13 for the wiper blades. These are the winter blades, not sure on a part number for summer blades.

I think they will hit in the middle, but I have never tried them.

vince1 · 09-21-2019, 04:35 PM

For the RH side I have the one from the back of a Jeep Cherokee. I haven't found one yet to modify for the LH side.

scottofksu · 09-22-2019, 10:01 AM

Are these the blades you tried? If not, has anyone tried these?

**Palf70Step** · 09-22-2019, 04:43 PM

If you can find them, yes those are the good ones. Normally, NAPA or other parts places do not keep them in stock, least that is the way it is around here.

I used the same one, just drilled out the rivet, flipped the arm and new rivet. Works great. Just a little tough removing and replacing the tension spring.
