My Ranchero came to me in boxes........literally. In the boxes I have several different length wiper arms and several wiper blades.
What is the correct wiper arm length? And how are you measuring it?
What is the correct wiper blade length? I think it is 12 inches.........is that correct?
Thanks
John
12" is correct I believe. I have 13" on mine, on bayonet style aftermarket arms from Concours parts if I remember right.
The OEM blades had stainless frames. Get the plastic frames. At high speeds or high winds, the blades can lay over. The stainless ones can scratch your new windshield.
The original Trico stainless blades are being repro'd now.
I've had stainless on my 57's for 30+ yrs, no problems.
Just don't let the rubber go flat. (new rubber inserts every few years)
Or you can put a soft spacer under the arms while the car is garaged.

I believe the blades are all 12 inches. the arms are different lengths The Fairlaine and Fairlaine 500 had a shorter windshield thus shorter arms. the 300's, wagon's,ranchero's had the longer arms.

That's the information I was looking for.
