If you are looking for the "old" style of wiper blade assembly for your hidden windshield wipers, they are still available. These are the factory low profile pin type blades that retracted below the hood when parked (turned off). They can be ordered through Classic Industries and are correct for 70-81 Camaro/Firebird and 71-73 Mustang/Cougar. Part# F-307 OER (18 inches long, black with rubber blade). These will fit also fit 72-79 Torino/Montego/Ranchero. They are not cheap...not anymore ($26 ea plus taxes in Canada). Best about these is they are factory correct and will NOT catch or get stuck under the hood when turning on or off...saving your paint. :) |

Thanks for the information. I was able to get an OEM style set from Rock Auto on clearance a few years ago. I am not sure if they still stock them, but they were very cheap. ------------- Vince 1972 Ford GTS Sportsroof - Survivor, One Family car GTS.org Admin |

Same here, had good luck with Rockauto on wipers. When I got a second new windshield installed, after the glass shop fiasco breaking my glass, I got new wipers. -------------  Andrew:GTS.ORG admin, '72 Q code 5 speed RestomodPondering: #99Problems |
