Wiper blade refills
 

Does anyone have any of the old Anco or Trico books that show the original numbers for the wiper refills for our cars? I can't seem to find correct refills anymore and I am concerned the wiper blade assemblies will be too tall to fit properly under the hood. I have found some Anco 11-18, but since I can't actually see the size, I don't know if they are correct. Is there a source for correct refills anymore?

I don't have the answer you're looking for, but I have a solution that worked for me the last time I went through this. I just bought a proper length blade with the same style rubber piece that was in blade on my car then just swapped over the rubber and tossed the rest like an empty lobster shell.

I use an AC Delco wiper arm assy. Storing originals if needed. May be able to "swipe" the blades out if them. Will post part number a bit later

for my 72 it's Trico RF-18-1

Aside from originals, here is what I usually go for.

Can't find a photo but think I have these by Muscle Car Industries:

I also tried the more modern wiper head swap to Delco 8-118 and worked fine on my 78, others reported similar styles could hit the hood with arm as taller. Check first if close.

Trico part number for the entire original style wiper blade assembly is 18-2. Discontinued for 5+ years but there still seems to be a supply of them on eBay.

Part number for the discontinued original metal framed wiper blade refill is 43-180. Previously it was RF-18 as mentioned earlier.
Current replacement refill is a "cost reduced" version with an integral plastic frame part number 44-180.

I now found some Anco N18R refills. These are the narrow refills and appear to be correct. Can anyone confirm?

The N18R refills are not correct.
