Hey Guys, I'm trying to find some wiper blades for my 1947 GMC. Everything I see seems to be a newer design? I tried following another thread but it didn't seem to address my question. I'm guessing these are OEM but someone could have swapped them out 100 years ago? I've looked at all my usual suppliers and don't see anything close. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance for your help.
BTW, the blade portion is 9 1/4 for the metal and 8 7/8 for the blade/rubber. Pictures below
Trico / Anco makes a "classic series" with stainless or aluminum arms and plain rubber blades.
They're usually listed as 33-150 or 33-180 where the second number is the length (10", 18", etc)
Search that way or go to Trico's website. You'll find the listing for Classic wiper blades.
Once you have them, the rubber refills can be purchased from Trico or just cut down any other length to fit. I installed 11" blades on Ol' Roy even though I think the originals were 10". There's plenty of room for them without interference with the rubber window seal.
They're only for looks since I never bother with them and use RainX on the windshield.
Take a look at rock Auto for AD trucks and see if the attachment is the same as the earlier trucks. They have them for $21
