I think there used to be a tech tip about wiper blades somewhere here - either in the "Tech Tips" section or the forum archives.

What I have done in the past is get the Plastic blades and just cut them to length but it kind of depends on the "blade holder" that you have.

Stop by a marine supply store like West Marine, they usually have 11" wiper blades and arms in stock. A lot of boats use similar wipers.

I used the universal adjustable arms and blades for a VW bug (the old bug).

Murdoc,

Saw some 11" replacement blades at the NAPA in Spokane just last week. They were listed in a seperate book, hanging next to the wipers, said something like classic wipers. Looked in the book and they listed one wiper for all 1950's chevy cars and trucks.
