Geting ready to install windshield wipers on my 51 pickup. Got 10" replacement blades from Cassic Parts. Noticed that my original arms have no clips to attache the blades?
Anyone have a picture or or info on this?
Its been 6 years since I removed them and can't remember how they were attached? I checked my manuals and couldn't find any details.

I assume you're talking about this blade. If so there should be a slot in the end of the arm for the hook in the blade to fit in.

Yes that is the wiper blade I have.
From the explanaion on how to connect it to the arm, it would appear that I may not have the right arm?

I don't know which is the 'right' arm for a '51 but the arm you have is not for that blade (or vice/versa).

Looked through my spare parts and did manage to find another set of blades that are much shorter and the proper clip is on the end. They line up good and fit my 10" aftermarket wiper blade.
Mystory solved. Thanks for the imput.

If you are not an original fanatic try out marine blades and arms. They are mainly stainless and come in a variety of sizes. Also read somewhere that MGB wipers are the same.

I've got an MGB out in the barn. I'll check out the blades/arms this weekend.
