Aftermarket Wiper Blades?

[erasedhammer]

I just bought some universal wiper blades listed by amazon as compatible with 1986 Chevy K30. That was a mistake. Shorter, worse quality, and the passenger side didn't fit at all.

Can anyone recommend some good aftermarket wiper blades that fit?

Go down to your local big box auto supply zone and get 16" wiper blades for (correct!) 86 K 30.

The 86 should fit, but keep in mind, you don't have an 86. You have an 84. The Army didn't want the hassle of dealing with model year changes in their supply chain, so they required them all to be built to 84 specs. When you need parts, you want 1984 parts, no matter if your truck was built in 84, 85, or 86.

True!
Theoretically, they should all be the same from 1973 through 1987, but it doesn't hurt to err on the cautious side.

Don't forget the 1987 model CUCV's also.
