Is there a part # or can anyone suggest a place to get the wiper blades for the 66ish truck wiper arms? The local parts stores seem to only carry stuff for the newer vehichles and the aftermarket neon/17 blade etc.. BS If there is a part# to get them through NAPA Ford that would be fine (I like the stock set just fine but the rubber is way gone) Not that it's going to rain in Cali before 2009 from the looks of it, but the marine layer is a pain in the am..

 

Any generic 15" wiper blades will work. I have never been to a parts store that didn't carry them. I have also even seen people run 13". If you can't find them you could just buy the refills and cut them down to 15".

 

I'm pretty sure mine are 13" just by eye.. will have to measure to be sure but they look pretty short. Most of what the parts stores have locally is an entire assembly and not just the squeegie piece with plastic sleeve. But I'll look around and see if I can find a set to cut down.. that just me be the ticket.. Thanks

 

As original:

B8SZ-17528-A or B Wiper Blade - 12 7/8" in length. Same as 1958/60 T-Bird.

C1SZ-17526-A Wiper Arm. Same as 1961/66 T-Bird & Lincoln.

1966/77 Bronco's use 13" wiper blades = C9TZ-17528-A

I'd try a NAPA store, or Prestige T-Bird in La Mirada, or Larry's T-B in Fullerton.

If you have room for 15 inch wiper blades, they were used on 1965/68 MUSTANGS..and should be easy to find.

 

THANKS #Dmmy we'll give napa a try(call) then Ford.,.there 2 blocks from me napa is 16 miles.. all the best

 

I doubt a Ford dealer will have them, unless you can use the 15 inchers from the early Mustangs. Is there a Mustang resto shop in your area? Vintage Ford in HB (formerly in Stanton) is another source.

 

I found a set at Kragens that worked. They are black plastic. Dont look as nice. Trico Exact fits #13-1.

 

I'll have a look thanks.. I dont want to replace the arm just the squeegie, if this is the entire assembly.. thats not what I want (however) if the blade can be removed and inserted into my setup KOOL..

Number I'll look and see if the 15" would fly if it comes to that. I wonder if John's Fun100's in Orange/Santa Ana might have these...

 

Around the corner from John's is Blue Oval Truck Parts. Then there's C. W. Moss in Orange, Vintage Ford in HB, and the local Mustang resto shops.

Boy, do I miss Ford Parts Obsolete in Long Beach.

 

Sorry I just went out and measured mine and they are 13". I recalled that years ago I couldn't find them so I installed a 15" pair and they worked but barely nicked the rubber winshield moulding at the top of the stroke. I ended up cutting them down and then a few months later I happened across a pair of 13" at the parts store. I have been keeping it indoors the last couple of years at the sight of rain so I haven't used my wipers in atleast 3years.
