Who knows Wipers and refills? Especially originals

TRICO BLADES and REFILLS

Since this came up in another thread.
The 1967 parts books only list ANCO blades for A-bodies, but B-bodies could get ANCO or TRICO Blades.
The ANCO blades are described as Double Bridge and the TRICO as Single Bridge.

In 1968, 1969 and other years (you'll have to look up the year of interest) A-bodies could get blades made by either company.
The following applies to 1968, 1969 and not '67.
Chrysler p/n for the 15" TRICO Blade was 2822 990 and its refill p/n was 2889 964.

Found an e-bay photo of a restored pair from a seller that seems knowledgable on this subject. He includes a photo of the BoM that lists the Chrysler p/n.

"Anco was the dominant OE supplier for Chrysler BUT Trico supplied parts here and there usually piece meal. Thus it is not uncommon to have Anco arms and Trico blades matched together. That is the case with 1969 "A" Bodies. See the last photo, this is the Trico Factory "Bill of Materials" for 1969 Chrysler "A" Bodies. Notice it lists this blade (Trico) but they do not supply the arms. Thus a mix and match.

These blades have used (but almost perfect) stainless frames. Cleaned with ultrasound to the point that they look new. NOS, correct, soft supple, lined Trico Script Refills installed. These blades are OE Mopar because they have the 15 stamped into them. No other car maker did this. Also Trico made in USA stamped on all 4 ends "
