wipers

Ordered new wiper blades as I have been in a lot of rain lately and have not been happy with the blades. They showed up today and they are the modern style attatchment with the C hook on the end and my blade arm is the old clip in style, do I have to buy new arms or are there blades that go with the arms that I have. Thanks in advance.

I bought new arms and wiper blades and everything they attach to from Midfifty's for my 56. They're the original style, not sure if the 58's use the same as the 56's though. The pictures you have of your truck are rather small and can't tell if they work the same as the 56 as they have a left and right arm but the blades should be the same.

I had to buy the whole set up on the 51! But now with the newer arms, I can just get blades next time.

Funny thing is the blade part fits on really loose - works ok but really is kind of "loppy."
