Recently purchased a 75 Super Camper Special. Would like to keep the original wiper arms but can't find blade refills anywhere locally. They are available online but before I risk getting the wrong ones can anyone confirm that Anco U15R are correct?
Thank you

I'm not sure what the part number is, but my local NAPA has them in stock.

 

Welcome to FTE.
According to Autozone (and all the accuracy that entails ) they fit.
Why are you having problems with the wiper blades? Around my neck of the woods these are stock items in just about every parts store.

 

I purchased an original stock looking pair from NAPA for my 74 F350 SCS. They were a tad pricey but since they are designed to look original with the stainless steel, it was what I wanted.

 

When I put refills on my '78 the gal at the AZ parts counter matched them up. She went to the back and came out with two styles in the right length. They weren't in the usual wiper display. We just picked the one that matched. She didn't use the computer or book.

I do know lots of folks have had trouble getting the right refills... it seems to depend on the parts guy or gal.

 

Nobody around here carries refills anymore. They want to sell the whole blade assembly. As I see it, the original wipers weren't designed for this.

 

I cannot remember the last time I saw blade refills sold separately; all I ever see anymore are the entire arms as you describe. On my '79 at least, however, any of the universal arms fit just fine. I can't imagine a '75 is different. They use the J-shaped hook that locks into place.

 

No J hook on these. Old-style straight shaft. I don't seem to be able to attach the nice photo I took.

 

Got 'em from the AutoZone website. They call them Ansco U15R but they are Chinese imports made for Old World Industries of IL. They were $6.99 for a pair and are simply the blade refills like in the old days. They fit properly and look like they're going to do the job.

 

I used the the NAPA NB15 on my straight arm shaft. They fit just fine. It is a black arm on a silver wiper shaft though.

 

Yes these have a black plastic retainer rather than metal. I'm OK with that. I just didn't want to have to replace the whole arm.

 

Actually they're a tad short. There's just enough play in the retainer that they can slide out at the far end. I think the trick would be to purchase the 16" blade and cut it to fit since it's plastic and would be easy to cut.

 

Like the others said, NAPA carries the vintage style blade. I don't recall the PN off the top of my head, but I'll check the next time I'm working (I work at one)

If I remember our display correctly, the vintage only goes up to a 15".

 

Why is this even a question?

re-fills are available at your local store....from 14" to 23"

 

Well Ill take advantage of this thread,on my original arms Im missing the springs any options (dorman)? been searching around cant seam to locate. jgavac if you can get that pn on the vintage thankyou trico 15"
