Default Wiper arms for '68

Hi

Does somebody know where to buy 1968 wiper arms? My vett didnt have them when I bougth it and I can easily find arms for 1965-1967 and 1969-1982, but not 1968, why is that?

Does these fit?

Those would should work for the 68 but, the 68 wiper arm is another one year only part. The washer fluid nozzles are mounted on the 68 wiper grill. 69 and up are mounted on the wiper arms.

My 68 didn't have them either. I found a nice set from a salvage yard out in California - They were expensive, but I wanted them.

I bought a spare set from a fellow forum member last year for $50.00! If you look around, you will eventually get lucky

The problem is that I'm located in Denmark, Europe and these used parts are bit difficult to find overhere. Think I will buy a set of '69 arms and use them if they fit until I find a set of '68
