Wiper blades
What do you suggest for wiper blades? My 82 C10 has black aftermarket blades, but I'd like to go back to stainless steel.

Re: Wiper blades
I just bought the black arms from LMC so the black blades don't look so bad. I was never able to find just the blade refills only the arms.

Re: Wiper blades
I would try to bead blast the black metal ones to see if they are made from stainless.

Re: Wiper blades
I use Trico brand refills, part number 43-160. There available at the big box parts stores but usually have to be ordered. I've also seen them on eBay, Amazon etc.
The black plastic refills don't look right on my truck

Re: Wiper blades
I use Accu-Fit 60-160 from NAPA. They slide right onto the end of the bare arm and click in place on that little pin. Black, on stainless arms, but the truck is black, so....
