67 B-body wiper refills 18"
I'm looking for some definitive information to replace the wiper refills on my 67 Catalina. They are overlapping, articulating 18" Trico blade/arm assemblies. They are original equipment.
I have two cars, both made at the Southgate, California plant in late 1966. Both have exactly the same wiper setup with the double articulating arms. Both blades appear to be integral to the arm assembly; only the refill is replaceable. Does anyone have information on an exact replacement refill part number or source? Thanks!!!

The engine old Anco refill part number was/is 11-18. I don’t know if they are being made anymore, though. I need some for my 77 TA, also. My wiper blades fit under the hood ( hidden wipers). It’s a tight fit, and most wipers are too tall. I have no interest in using these later model lates!

Same wiper refills needed here for my 69 Executive, identical style you have both described. If anyone finds them, please let us know.

Anco has a website. Contacting them is not out of the question. I’d like to have a set of refills and some spares, I just don’t need them in a big hurry, at the moment.

I found a Texaco Refill set NIB marked "RF-18". They work on my 67 2+2.

I found these Trico 18" refills at Classic Industries... no photo and only 70's models are listed, but it seems like they would be the correct item? |

Point: the boxes (10 wiper blades per case/box) l. The Anco part number in the box, listed the Anco number, but in fine print l, said made by Trico Industries. Sooo Trico might be THE source of 18 inch refills......maybe.....

I'm glad I stumbled upon this thread , as I just purchased a 67 Ventura hardtop. I'd like to pick up some blades for her too.
Thanks for the suggestions |

The biggest problem you'll find is the tension on the blades themselves is going bad after 50+ years. The "springiness" if you will. This means they don't wipe clean as well as they did when new. |
