    this is the wiper blade off of my 1951 Chevy 3/4 ton. it doesn't match anything our host sells. any ideas as to what it is off of? its 12 inches long and is attached to wiper arms that are not stock. the end of the arm is like the 54-59 but the end of it swivels on a screw.

    It has been on the truck parked in the barn for over 30 years. It is more narrow than the modern ones today.

    Not sure what you are wanting to do, NAPA sells a nice complete stainless arm and blade with multiple sized pieces that set screw onto your old post sticking out of the cowl. Its a bit pricey but its real and works well. That would seem easier then messing around trying to match an old blade thats probably not made anymore.

    That Is :

    An old ' universal ' typ of wiper blade , your truck needs the 10" one sold @ NAPA stores (not Chinese !) or the one sold by thew Host here .

    You didn't include a picture of your wiper arm end but any blade sold by old truck partshause will fit as they're the same attachment as what you have there .

    I highly suggest the NAPA Classic as it's the correct one that fits & works .

    I use Rain-X too as that helps the wiper motor do it's job and you don't need any wipers over 35 MPH when you have it properly applied .
