Re: Where can I get decent wiper arms?

Did you buy a set from LMC? And, are they polished stainless/chrome or painted silver?. I just got an LMC sale catalog and I did notice that they have wiper arms, but I guessed that they were probably from the same source as the ones I have.

Re: Where can I get decent wiper arms?

Is there any late model cars/trucks that will work?

Rockauto has the stock Anco arms for $22 each. http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/x,ca...,parttype,8848 pic shows stock wiper arms with Rockauto blades. Works great!

Ah yes, These are Anco adjustable wiper arms.

The beauty of these is that you can adjust the length of the arm and the angle of the blade so it sits level when parked.

Re: Where can I get decent wiper arms?

I got mine from Tuckers Truck. They are polished stainless but they fit well. I was also impressed with the customer service as I needed special attention since the top was chopped. They went through options of arms and blades on the phone until it seemed something would work. When they got here, they fit. I do live in AZ though and I won't drive in the rain unless I get fooled by mother nature.

Re: Where can I get decent wiper arms?

I have the original arms, it will even be ran off vacuum. But anyone know how they attached these modern style wiper blads to what looks like stock arms?

What you have are Anco adjustable arms and late replacement snow blades, Nothing original there.

BTW you can adjust the angle of the blade to lay even with the bottom of the windshield when off . Just loosen the screw and move the blade and retighten the screw.

Sorry to say No as the stock arms have a hooked end and the late stuff takes a straight end.
