Windshield Wiper Blade Question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Already Gone** · 07-27-2015, 05:25 PM

I have the original Trico metal wiper arms on my 72. I would like to get new refills for them but I am told they are obsolete up here in Canada. The Trico Part # is 43-150 for the refills. What do you folks in the USA do for refills for the original wiper arms, or are they obsolete there as well.

Check out this tread. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s....php?p=7028722
I don't have any personal experience with them. May not be available up your way though.

I looked on line and Trico makes them along with other companies. Advance auto parts shows them. If you wanted to buy complete ones I have removed the blades and installed them into my old blade holders.

Thanks for the lead Jim. I guess the part number Trico 33-150 is not carried in Canada anymore. I guess not enough volume for the Canadian distributors to stock them.

Can you order them in Canada through the Amazon link?

I bought AC Delco blades from Rock Auto. The p/n is 8-7150. They are 15" long and look just like the originals. I think I paid $22 for the pair. Good luck with your search.

O'Reilly Auto parts sells them.. for 9.00 if I remember right... it is under their Classic line...

On checked on Amazon.ca ( the Canadian version of Amazon ) and they had the Trico 33-150's. They also had the refills only Trico # 43-150. They are ordered and on the way. Thanks everyone for your info and help.
