ANCO part number U-15R. Can be gotten at most autoparts stores, may need to be ordered. Much cheaper online.

WalMart used to carry them. I got some for a customer Corvette to use the stock housings. Modern blades will not clear the wiper door on 68-72 Corvette.

It's hit or miss. My local Vautozone had 2 pairs of the Anco U-15-R in stock. None other in the Austin area. I found some on Amazon as well.

Re: Stock Wiper Blade Refills ?

so are thes Anco blades good? I need to replace mine also and I know the ones on the newer vehicles work great, maybe they have more pressure than our older ones? I dont like to drive in the rain in my truck but I still do so I would like some good ones.

You don't really hav a variety of choices like for newer vehicles. The blades work as good now as they did when the truck was new though. The blades aren't really the determining factor as far as pressure anyway. That is determined by the holder you are running. The refills fit in the stock Trico holder.
