Aftermarket wiper arm and wipers?

[IdahoMan]

Hi,

I have an 1981 Silverado, and the OEM wiper system is a pain for the following reasons:

A. Can't find any wipers blades to fit it
B. The Arm is impossible to get off the truck with a special tool
C. Unlike modern vehicles, you can't bend the arm away from the windshield

The 94 GMC truck for example has a nice wiper system. It can be bent away from the windshield, it's black (I'd like this), it looks like all you have to do to remove the arm is use an attached lever, and I assume blades are easy to find.

Questions:

1. Will the 94GMC wiper system fit an 81 Silverado?
2. If not, is there an aftermarket system that will?

Thank you.
