The stock wiper arms have the straight end with a little nub to lock the blade in place. I have had some plastic replacement blades fail, and there is a limited selection of this type. Is there a wiper arm with a hook style blade attachment that is a direct replacement? Later square bodies have a post style attachment and they are wet arm style with integral washer nozzles.

If I remember correctly the 95 and up wiper arms have the hook style but they maybe to long. I would thing the splines would be same.

I am running 18" on the stock arms, these look like the might be a good option. Do you have a pic of them installed you can share? Thanks!
I'll try and remember to get a pic.

I finally remembered!!!

If you look close in the first you can see the sprayer. It's easy to see in pic 2.
I need ro adjust them though since they're not even.

Awesome! I destroyed the replacement wiper blades and finally remembered to look at this thread. Going to pass on the wet arm feature for now.

I used these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000COCS1S/

Down side is you have to order these so you'll have sprayers and they're a little expensive: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01ID3HCO2/

I am running 18" blades with these arms.
These did not work for my '79 Sierra Classic. They are too constrained under the hood, do not lift for cleaning and do not apply sufficient down-pressure such that the blades simply do not wipe. Time for plan C or give up on hooked arms?

Does anybody else have a suggestion?
