windshield wiper blades for a 62 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

where is the best place to get windshield wiper blades for my 62? I was looking at the ones that they have at classic industries and was wondering if anybody had any trouble with those?

Never bought anything from them yet. LMC Truck has them for the same price. I'm pretty sure all of the come from the same manufacturer. I bought mine years ago at the local parts store. $7.99 - $8.99.

There like 13" or something.

What I am planing to do to my truck is to make some from some Rain-X or Bosch Wiper Blades. I have the Bosch styles on all of my other vehicles. I love'em. Alot of these import compact cars have the same 13" length. I checked a while back.

These will be better for the wrap around windshields.

yeah...13" blades. I get mine from O'Reily's, or Auto zone. Either way around $6.99-$8.99

I bought a pair of blades from Classicparts a couple of years ago, but was disappointed because they were only 12” long. It doesn’t seem like much of a difference, but 12” blades leave a lot more of the center and top of the windshield uncleared compared to 13” blades. This becomes a bigger disadvantage in the snow.

I ended up assembling a combination of older red dot parts along with Rain-X blade refills to go back to 13” blades.
