Available aftermarket or chrome windshield wipers - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

*vegaschevy* · 12-05-2009, 02:12 AM

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?

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.

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.

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

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

I have the stainless steel wiper arms and wiper blades on mine and love them.

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