wiper arms
Anyone put windshield wiper arms from a newer model vehicle on a 65 f250 ? I'd like to be able to use newer wiper blades that I don't have to special order. What model cars/trucks should I look for at the scrap yard to pull them off ?
Thanks

Found some on an early 90's f150 that fit the pivots. Have to shorten them but I think they'll work.

If the black bugs ya, why not remove the blades, scuff them up with some scotchbrite, degrease them and then shoot them with some rattle can silver? I'd bet they'd look great!

I tripped into Advanced Auto and found they carry 3 different "universal fit" profiles for wiper inserts. One of them was a match, or close enough, to the originals. And they happened to be 26" long which is exactly twice the length, so you end up with a buy one get two deal. Its a bit of a project to refit the original blades, but worth it if you like the original stainless steel setup.

Not clear if looking for the wiper arms, blades, or both. Purchased a set of Black Trico 13" blades that fit on the original arms, worked great just could not get my head around the chrome arm and black blades. Yesterday found the local CarQuest auto parts store carries the 13" insert, cost me $6 for the set, and took about 1 miniute to remove the old and insert the new. Trico carries the inserts but the auto store only carried the Carquest brand #454-130, any auto parts store should be able to cross reference.
