Which Wiper Blade Refills Work Best?

[red71c10]

OK, I'm having trouble finding wiper blades for my '71. Rain-X refills don't fit at all and when I tried Trico Exact Fit the plastic connector snapped like a saltine! The old blades don't have a brand name on them and they've been on the truck so long I can't even remember where I bought them. I've had enough trial and error and would just like to know which blades fit these trucks best.

Can we revisit this? I too am curious as to what blades work best with the bayonet style wiper arms.

Are you just talking about stock refills? I believe these refills were from NAPA

my 60 has the bayonet style arms with no screws. i am assuming all 67-72 are the same. i bought a pair of trico exact fit blades and the first time i turned them on, one snapped the clip part and fell over a$$ back to the parts house and bought a pair of higher priced wiper blades (Bosch) to which i found out won't even connect to a flat tipped bayonet style wiper arm.

I just got some refills for my 72 from carquest part# 453-160 they fit fine and work great on mine.

i dont know how much refills are but 2 blades and inserts are only $20 from lmc. And they are shiny

I've found that the house brand refills at Advance Auto work the best for me with the bayonet arm. I can't remember what they call them offhand, but it's just the cheap generic house brand they sell.

I tried most of the name brands and couldn't get them to work. Some don't even include the hardware to attach to a bayonet arm in the package anymore.

Anco 9115 Aero blade. Less than $4 ea. at Rock Auto and the only one that laid flat and didn't snap the first time I tried to use them.

I just buy refills and not the blade. I got mine from napa and I believe they're anco brand

If you have the original arms then ANCO # 33-150 wiper blades, these are the rubber and stainless that clip to the end of your arm. I you just need the refill then ANCO wiper blade refill # U-15-R. These are getting a little harder to find at local parts stores but they can order them and they are plentiful on the Internet.

I just use the refill blades. Anco from Autozone. They are plastic however so if your looking for exact original these aren't it. I think a pair is $5.99

I'm looking for the blade assembly to go on the end of the arms. I can refill blades once I find some wipers. I am going to drive across town and look at the Trico 33-150. I think that seems to be the best one for our trucks. (next to original equipment)

I live in Sothern California so it's not a huge issue. I just want them so I can run my washers. LOL

Here's some pics I found on that interweb thing. I'm not sure if the TRICO brand comes with the gray connector pieces or what. I will look when I go to parts house. If they do....I will probably paint them like in this photo. I will take photos and post my results for others.

The 33-150s have the correct stainless fitting to slip on your original arm

[JOJABOY]

so....pictures don't want to upload tonight for what ever reason. i must say though...the TRICO 33-150 are definitely the right replacement wiper for our trucks. fitment is perfect.
