1972 Duster Build with my Daughter

Jim, i was looking at your wiper linkage deal. I have a 69 cuda i am collecting up parts for to do a resto w my son. It has the same black clips as yours does. I hunted down a complete wiper linkage assembly and wiper arm pivots from a 67 for his 69. The 67 linkage setup was a 1 year only deal but will fit all the way up to 1976. It uses bronse bushings that are brazed into the linkages, with oiled up felt washers, and metal clips to hold it together. I believe they abandoned that for 1968 up cars to save on costs, as nylon plastic that snaps together is easier, faster, and cheaper on the assembly line. Plus it would work well enough to get the car out of warranty. You may want to concider that setup for the duster. Any 1967 A body would have this setup i described.

That would last forever! I am just leaving the originals in. If they did not break by prying the tabs back to get the one off they are not brittle at all. Under the dash was mostly gone so I am going to go with the one tab was broken by banging around under the dash years ago. And yes my '68 Coronet had the black plastic as well so you would be correct. It is interesting seeing how plastic was starting to make its transition into cars between '68 to '72. Then in '73 the interior got the plastic treatment and the rest is history :)
