Re: Palf's 1970 Custom/10
I've always had issues with getting wiper blade replacements that would work well for the original arms. I found this on the board and did my old 64 by using the original bottom/mounting part of the arm and get a newer style upper arm. In my case I had a set of 2002 Silverado arms lying around that had the j-hook style clips. So, I separated both set of arms. Then I oriented the newer J-hook arms into the older style base. Adjusted them for proper length, then drilled some holes and used some stall stainless screws to hold the in place. Cleaned them up and put on a coat of black paint. Add new 15" blades and mounted them up. Everything works great and I can get reasonably priced blade refills/replacements just about anywhere now that stay in place. Then seemed to work great today in the rain, so onto whatever the next project is. Sorry for the lack of pictures during the actual building. Didn't have a phone or camera in the shop at the time.
