windshield wipers

How about Jeep CJ the older ones? They are small, so I will try that for my F2.

Might work. Do you know how long the Jeep wiper blades are? You need something about 10 inches long. Even some of the reproduction stuff is too long. I ordered wiper arms and blades from Classic Auto Parts and they were too long.

I was thinking of getting them off an old one and seeing if they would work.

Check 1948-51 Jeepster. I think the passenger side arm is the same shape as I remember (OK, it is missing from the first picture but you can get the idea from the left one ). The blade is only 9" long but the CJ-2 is 10". You can get them from JC Whitney - http://www.jcwhitney.com/

Very nice looking Jeepster!

I don't know what I'm missing here; what's wrong with stock F-1 wiper blades? I'd be amazed if Jeep or any other 10" blade is any different price-wise, and I wouldn't assume any other blades are going to snap into the F-1 arms?

That is a good question. I just assumed that Ntshade needed blades for a '48-'50 F-2? I see that JC Whitney has several brands of those. They give you the exact length when you click on details.

Somebody else may know for sure but is the blade any different since the controlling length is the height to the top of the windshield? See picture of my truck with two blades in previous post below.

If the old Jeep blade fits, it's likely because it's the same Trico 10" blade. Why would it be any cheaper just because it's for a Jeep?

Dennis C's price is $15 for a SS replacement, that isn't out of line with what a plastic replacement for a modern car costs. No doubt LMC or JCW undercut his price.
