What is everyone doing about 1973-1977 Silver Windshield Wipers

Need to source some silver wipers blades (not the arms, just blades), not sure if I should go China stuff off eBay (Anco part # 20-16). Would love to hear what everyone is doing.

I've been lucky to find a few sets at the junkyards and have been buying them as I come across them.

Trico makes a "Classic" set that looks good to me. I used them on my Blazer.

How do the Trico's compare to the originals in terms of appearance? Looks like the Trico's are "solid" whereas the originals were vented?

I'm not sure what the originals looked like. The Tricos look period enough for me. I got mine at the local O'Reilly's. They had them in stock
