I believe they are the same, least wise most parts that I do manage to find are from chevelles and likenesses. I will appreciate your help greatly. Thanks!

Only difference is if you need hidden or non-hidden arms.

they are the hidden type. It's a 72 wagon.

What do we look for that distinguishes a "hidden" arm from a "non-hidden" (assuming it's not actually still on a donor car)? When I was looking to replace my driver's side wiper arm I was told (with no guarantee of accuracy) that the arms were the same, it was just a matter of where the wiper motor "parks". I don't know what type I ended up getting, but thankfully it works.

A hidden driver's arm has a second shaft on it. This shaft attached to a pin with a clip next to where the arm pivot is located. Along with the motor the transmissions are different. Easy to distinguish apart by the little pin by the left pivot.
Here's one source with a picture.

Well, in that case I guess my motor has been changed out at some point. It does not have what you spoke of above, the wipers on mine are just the arm. They are straight on the end where the wiper attaches. They still seem to want to go below the hood if it were not for the wiper blade assembly. I have the drivers side functional, just no arm on the passenger side. Your help will be much appreciated.

it looks to me that the passengers side is the same weather it is hide wipers or not. it is only the drivers side that differs. pat i have one do you need the part that holds the wiper too or just the arm? whats it worth to you? $20? its in perfect condition.

Well, I don't need the arm anymore. I took one of the ones that are bent at the end and heated it with my torch and straightened it, works fine and since it's stainless and I used low a low flame there was no discoloration of the metal. Thanks for your help though. See Ya'll!
