Wiper Arm Question
Hey Guys,
I'm new to the Bumpside game. Picked up a clean rust-free 72 F250 Arizona truck over the weekend here in Long Island, seller bought it from the estate of the older gentleman who passed during the restoration. Shame.
It's missing windshield wiper arms, and I'm assuming there's cross fitment from other vehicles. I see all sorts of 73-79s wiper arms, and the previous generation, but just sponsored search results that lead nowhere for the 69-72s. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
I'd post photos if I could, but I need a few more posts first.
There's a pair on eBay for over $1,000. Are the originals really that rare?? I don't care about original or not, I just want to be able to drive in the rain.
Thanks in advance! Truck came with an extra black step bumper, if anyone in the NY area needs it its yours...

Welcome to FTE.
I'm late to the party.
Seems like years ago somebody showed on a thread how he shortened Dentside (73-79) or Bullnose (80s the next gen) wiper arms to fit our Bumpsides. This just to help future folks who land on this thread.

Welcome to the forum I’m new myself but as far as parts for your bump I recommend getting a magazine from all the classic car parts like npd, lmc , classic and obsolete car parts and summit racing is always a great place because over 100 bucks free shipping and on these old trucks you can easily buy 100 bucks worth of stuff lol
