Where can I find wiper blades that will work on a 74 Roadrunner.The wipers tuck down behind the hood & I can't find a set that will allow that to happen,they're all too tall.

Can you find blades with the same insert as what you have?
You could swap inserts and keep the same metal blade.

Hmmm, anybody have a pic of what the blades should look like? I'm guessing they don't have the arched springs like exposed wiper blades do?

I had same problem with my Challenger, the Trico Classics did the trick. Look nice and are low profile too.

Is the pin style the type where there is a pin on the wiper arm that slides into the hole on the wiper blade?

That's what I have, it's PN 33-162

Year One has them for $17, get them at Advanced Auto for $8

Is this what you're looking for? I have a spare set somewhere... Like these, but without the integral washer nozzle in the arm.

Out of cusriosity, do the original blades have some type or stamp or marking on them that would easily distinguish them from newer OTC replacement parts?
