My '57 Suburban needs new wiper blades. I thought it would be easy to order online, but no! I see a variety of length, and mainly a variety of mounting systems... So, I am including a couple of pictures of what I have (arm, which I do not change, and mounting system of the blade), can someone tell me if I do have TF truck blades (if not, what?), and maybe also what other type of blade would fit my arms? For instance, on the LMC site, their mounting system is not the same as mine...
From what I could find in the GM parts books and replacement resource info, your truck could have had either TRICO or ANCO 12" wiper blades.
Both fit the same arm that your picture shows (known as a "wrist action" connector), which was used on 1949-59 Chevy Trucks and passenger cars.
A bit of searching indicates the current ANCO replacement blade assembly is under their product line "ANCO Vintage", part number "20-12".
Snapshot of older 2016 catalog detail (below) shows the arm and multipurpose latch mechanism that will work with your arms.
Lots of "ANCO 20-12" units being offered for sale, even some listing at FLAPS.
You got it from here???
