Thanks I'll double check if they are Trico or Anco today.

Most of the Anti Wind Lift / Rain Master wipers I recall were ANCO.
Very popular in the 70's

This popped up for sale online but has no part number so don't know if it's a true GM offering?

Jeff thanks for the pictures. I was fighting wiring and electric radiator fan on the race car forgot to look. Looks like the Anco you have at the top with the wing and two red buttons..

A distinct feature was the dimples on the blade. these 15 inch. blades were used on C2 corvettes and are very hard to find. The vette guys have grabbed them up. The arms and blades were used on several GM cars though. Last I looked for these they were $175. to $200. a set

Tried to order 18 inch classics from O'Reilly. Thought that surely if they had 15s they would have 18s. Not listed. Guess those of us with the 2 speed wipers will still have to be creative.

These are plastic but would work until better option is found.
https://www.amazon.com/Trico-33-183-.../dp/B000CRMNJC Website says they do carry 18" Classics as well; https://www.tricoproducts.com/produc...ventura-764696

Based on his avatar I assumed he was looking for B-Body blades.

No. I have 2 speed wipers on mine and still have the original 15" units with new inserts.

I was only pointing out that O'Reilly didn't list an 18inch blade when I checked. I know this is the GTO forum but maybe other B body owners happen to check in occasionally. Yes, the B body in the early 60's used 18 inch blade for 2 speed wipers and 15 inch for single speed. But my parts book does not indicate that was true for Tempest/Lemans cars.
And interestingly, the parts book shows for early 60s B body both bright and brush finish available starting in 64 but does not show the same for Tempest/Lemans cars. |

Trico does make an 18" Classic blade. Part # is 33-183
https://www.tricoproducts.com/produc.../trico-classic Just have to find a reputable parts store or order on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=trico+33-183&ref=nb_sb_noss |
