What's the correct windshield wiper refill length for '70 C10?

I drove my truck to my dads house Thanksgiving day and ended up leaving it there. (Bought a Nissan pickup the next day and ended up driving it home). Anyway I know my wipers are bad and need new refills because we are forecast to get rain. Everything I'm seeing says 15" but I don't think mine are that long. For some reason I'm thinking 13". Are they the same for all 67-72 or are some different?

Thanks buddy. I gotta grab a set before I go to get it. I have put one set on a few years back and for some reason I got 13" on my mind.

My local store didn't carry 15", but 16" fit just fine.

Re: What's the correct windshield wiper refill length for '70 C10?

I did a little research and found that the part number for Anco refills to fit the stock Trico stainless holder is U-15-R. I called around and an AutoZone not too far from me had three sets at $6.99 ea. Got them on the 71 GMC in about 5 mins and work great. You have to ask for that PN. Otherwise they are like a deer in the headlights. Counter jockey at the zone d that they are sending a lot ofthese back to their warehouse due to inactivity.

Thanks for the number....doing a quick google search...rockauto sells them for 3.23...you can use the 5% off code but shipping is 8.34 or something similar. However, if you're like me and have 20plus pair of wipers with bad inserts it makes it work out well because shipping stays at 8 something with 20sets...

If I remember correctly you can actually run up to a 17 in blade

Yep, you're correct. I'm using a 17 inch blade on my truck and it fits and works just fine.

Well, it says NAPA on the package.... it's probably available at NAPA auto parts stores.

"Not available online" but then it gave me the option to buy online, and I was able to put it in the basket & proceed to checkout. I stopped before entering my info but it looks like it should work, in case there's no NAPA stores near you.
