cny first gen 71 Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 I got replacement blades from advanced auto of course they were black so I took them apart and painted them along with the wiper arms. They came out good. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC1of80 Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 I purchased the whole blade also for Big Red and Barn Find from Ground Up. Same as a Chevelle, fyi. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jft69z Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 I used Trico 33-162 'Classic' blades on my 72. They're the correct color and fit good. Picked them up on ebay at the time. They still seem to be available, though amazon doesn't currently have them. https://www.tricoproducts.com/products/factory-performance-wiper-blades/trico-classic?find=cars-light-trucks-chevrolet-1972-monte-carlo-439576657 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Searsman Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 O’reillys auto parts, been more helpful than auto zone or advance. If not in stock they usually have next day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montemedic Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 The last place I bought them from was Rock Auto. The Parts Place has them, and probably SS396 too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willie Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 I got them from a guy at Carlisle. Not sure if it was from Spring or Fall. I don't think he is there at the GM show. I know he did not give me a receipt so don't have his name or email. They were costly but the correct size and insert. I think they were about $40. If anyone is going to Carlisle and want to see them they are on my 72 that will be there. As of now i will be going to Fall Carlisle and will get his info for anyone that is interested. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Carl (MC-71) found an ebay listing from the same seller as Amazon (Wipers123), but has 2 blades for $30. This would be the best deal for sure. https://www.ebay.com/p/79300215?iid=302883610197 Just found that Amazon has them listed in stock now: https://www.amazon.com/Trico-33-162-Classic-Wiper-Blade/dp/B000CQ20EG NAPA carries them as well, for a couple dollars more. 16" Classic wipers - NAPA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
