Trico Classic wipers

Finally Trico has a correct looking, quality wiper. They were easy to install and fit great as well as looking correct. I found them at the local O'Rielly's for under $20 a pair.
Trico Classic part # 33-150

Re: Trico Classic wipers

Great news for all of us. I found a set of these 7 years ago up in Nebraska and never got a spare set. Need to replace the old ones now.

Old thread, but do these fit a 1970 C10? Oreilly's website says no, they fit a pontiac.

Re: Trico Classic wipers

i BELIEVE FACTORY FOR THE 70 c10 WAS 14", BUT YOU CAN GET A 15" ON . Sorry for caps. Good luck finding them, at least for me, I can never find anyone that has them in stiock, including on-line orders. I just converted mine to use the newer j-hook blades.

Dunno if there's a difference 1970 to 1972..... my '72 K20 came with 15" blades. I even ran aftermarket 16" for awhile, I think because I had trouble finding 15".
I have since gone back to 15" OEM-style blades.

Re: Trico Classic wipers

You may be right. Not sure . I know my 64 was 14. But I can't find any 14 or 15 classic style or ones that even work on the original style arms.

They are listed on Rock Auto's website as available. Not cheap though. Also at Amazon for a lot less.

Re: Trico Classic wipers

Confused. Oreilly says the are for a Pontiac gto. Amazon says they won't fit a 72 C10. Trico's website doesn't list them for a 72 C10. Did you just buy and try them?

Thanks for the links. Amazon is stupid high almost $80 a pair

I may be one of the few, but I have never had any luck with Rock Auto. Always seem to get the wrong (or busted up) parts and shipping was crazy.
