55.2-59 Wiper Arm/Blade combo

[57FleetsideC4]

Hi, I am getting close to finishing my build in the signature and am trying to figure out which wiper blades and arms to get. I have a set of arms and tried trico 33-122 blades and they don't look right or feel right on the arm. The arms are a s shape the end and the blades clear that but don't feel positive. I don't want a blade to come off and scratch a new windshield. What combo is everyone using? Thank You Steve

That is the "correct" blade if you are restoring the truck to original but I rather have to agree with you in that it may not be what you now want. Looking up 12 inch wiper blades most of them have a steel frame no matter if they are black or metal color though.

Sometimes unless you have electric wipers the vacuum wipers won't handle more drag from stronger springs in the arms or wiper blades that have more drag against the windshield. 61 years of driving says that normally if a wiper blade comes apart you should have already changed it months ago.

Look up rear wiper 12 inch. Almost all modern suv use 12 inch blades on rear. You may fine the new arm and blade combo you are looking for.
Local junk yard may have a few arms for cheap if you want to experiment on fitment and how well it drags and wipes. Before committing to new style.

you may find something from heavy equipment also, like a back hoe or a skid steer loader
cruising the pick n pull may be a great idea. check moini vans, suv's etc. havbe the dimensions of your wiper arm mount and take calipers with you
