I have not used the classic blades I bought for mine, but I have not heard bad things about them. They really do look like the original tooling for our trucks. I use Bosch on my daily driver over Anco blades as well as on all the vehicles at work. (8). My truck is still a bit off before it is on the road before it sees rain, thus the reason they are here on the floor safe from the sun. I bought a pair of Bosch a couple of years ago before I tore into her, and they are still in the cab in their package. Probably no good because of the California heat.

I have the 15" Trico Classics on my 71' F250. Coincidentally, they're the same size blades that fit my 67' Cougar. I'm happy with the way they look/perform. Haven't used them in snow/ice though.

I can’t even figure out how to remove the blades. It’s almost like you have to bend the bracket holding the blade in place.

Won’t slide out

New blade

I just ended up bending the tabs at the end and slid out the old and slid in the new blade and bent the tabs back.

I get those in person only and look at them. Usually you squeeze one end together to slide them on and off. I like the original arms so I always get the replacement blade only as well. Ive used trico and whatever is reasonable.
