stock or not ?

Hey guys I'm trying to get my windshield wipers working and I saw that my arms are adjustable and also a bit pitted so before they get tossed . Should I try to clean these up and reuse or are they cheap crap ? It does say made in USA which is a big plus

Although probably from the correct period they are not what the truck would have been fitted with from the factory.. most likely aftermarket replacements.

It's up to you.. my 62 came with some period correct aftermarket windshield wipers similar to these and they annoyed the heck out of me.. but then some people don't mind. What I would do (and this is what I did) is source out some used original ones and repolish them.
