Does the Right side arm and the left arm look the same other than being a left and right. The reason I ask is the ones I took off of the truck I have been restoring are a little different at the base of the arm and I see like lmc show two part numbers but I am assuming it is just because of the angle. Thanks

They are mirrors of each other, but not interchangeable from left to right, due to the minor offset angle on the end, receiving the blade. The wiper arms & blades sold by many of the aftermarket truck parts suppliers are close, but not quite the same, as their original counterparts. The blades are 13" and they were originally manufactured by Trico. They had a clear finish stainless steel finish on them. Each blade has tiny red release button on each end, to allow replacement of the blade, when refilling.

As Tony says, "they are mirrors of each other". Mine are aftermarket units which are adjustable for length and the angle of the blade.

If you can't fix it with a hammer and screwdriver, you need a bigger hammer.
