Good evening all
I have not posted on here much but I do need to ask for advice please
I have a 50 Suburban which has an electric wiper motor upgrade so no dramas there
My question is, can I fit '54 arms and blades without any issues or is this a complete NO NO please

What I have currently is utter junk and want to upgrade if possible, or do I stay with the standard arms and blades please?

Need to order new items asap so any and all opinions welcomed
Thank you
Paul

Paul, Are the wiper arm transmissions (the splined part the wiper arms attach to) still the original 1950 units or did they get changed along with the wiper motor? In reading up on the arms for your 1950 Burb, originals were Left: 11-15/16" long chrome GM# 3697281 and Right: 11-15/16" long chrome GM# 3697282. Those are both fixed lengths (non-adjustable).

Chevy lists an alternate GM# 3703494 - Arm, windshield wiper assy. (universal) (adjustable 9-3/4 to 12-1/4) that fits 1949-56 trucks (in the 1929-57 Chevy Master Parts book). You can find NOS ones like this on eBay or you can select from the various reproductions offered with vendors like those listed on this page. Hope this proves helpful. smile
