Available aftermarket or chrome windshield wipers

Looking for opinions on different available windshield wipers for our trucks. The stock ones look good but the plain silver finish would look bad once a truck is nicely finished.

Chrome?
Polished?
anything?

Re: Available aftermarket or chrome windshield wipers

I used chrome 67-73 Camaro wiper arms on my 68. They are very similar and only a trained eye can tell the difference. They are made in stainless as well.

Re: Available aftermarket or chrome windshield wipers

I use car wiper arms that are stainless.Just have to find the right length.It`s been so long I can`t say what cars I`ve used.I don`t recall it being hard to find the right size.

Re: Available aftermarket or chrome windshield wipers

I just bought nice looking stainless wiper arms from LMC but I also ordered the blades with I thought would be stainless or silver but the were black with cheap clips to hold them on (and they don't stay on).
I see where other vendors have stainless blades so I guess I will be buying those soon. BTW, the wipers are 15 inch

Re: Available aftermarket or chrome windshield wipers

I might of had those camaro wipers originally because they rested really low on the windshield, just above the rubber. They had less of a bend where the wiper connects. To have horizontal blades, the new ones are higher like the picture in previous post. I like the lower look... might give it a shot. Sorry, don't have closer pic.

PS - found stainless wiper blades here

Re: Available aftermarket or chrome windshield wipers

I think used 63 impala polished stainless ones on one of my trucks. They looked just like the originals.
