I just got a '57 and it has Trico wiper blades. I can't find the 12" refills anywhere. I emailed Trico, but no responce yet.
Any recommendations are appreciated. Thanks.

Follow up - the response from Trico is that the arm and blade are inseparable. So, the part # is 60750; available at/through NAPA.

Thanks for you help.

take an old one to NAPA, they should be able to come up w/ somethin you can cut down - also try marine stores, as the marine wipers are quite similar to our older styles

I've seen a tip for AD's somewhere.

The Filling Station has TF wiper blades that take refills ($3.50 per refill, but cheaper than blades) Hopefully, they can be refilled with cut-down modern refills.

You might also try taking your blade to the parts dept of your local "big truck" dealer-i.e. Freightliner, International, etc. The wipers used on many of these new trucks with flat glass should work just fine on an oldie. cool
