Anybody do a conversion to use the modern type blades? I've been thinking about getting some modern arms and mating them to the old arms to use either the U channel clip on or the beam type blade, was just wondering if anyone has attempted this yet.

not sure what part of the arm you are trying to use. any blade will fit the arms, with the adapter clips they come with. if the arms mount match the pivot bases, they should just snap on as well. building wiper arms seems like a lot of work.

No, I hate those clunky adapters, I'm just going to add a modern style end to the arms the truck came with.

Most "Modern" use the plastic adapters also so your not getting away from anything

I dont understand which wiper arm end you are looking to go for.

The 72-late 80's used the flat spade type end, and the 92 and 93 I know used the arm that has the short rod end.

Can you post a picture of the end you are wanting to use?
