LMC Wiper Arms
Is there a difference in the length of wiper arms and blades from '51-'52's to '53-'56's? Looking at LMC's catalog the '51-'52's are more expensive for both the arms and the blades than the '53-56's, and I'm always looking to save a buck.

Try Tom's Bronco www.tomsbroncoparts.com parts. They have arms listed for out old Ford trucks. Want to know why a Bronco place sells stuff for our old Fords? Because they also fit Broncos. So Bronco stuff might be cheaper than old Ford stuff.

I bought some non Trico arms and blades from LMC,can't say the quality is that great.
The blades are super sloppy when mounted on the arms.

What's nice about the Trico arms is their heavy spring to keep the blades on the glass. The old arms on mine (stock Ford?) were junk, they used a leaf spring and it just wasn't any good.

I agree! I bought some from LMC and the fit was terrible. I had them too long to send them back so they ended up in the junk pile.

Is the 7mm really the end of the arm? Can you take a picture? Sounds like Trico changed things.
