My Pig ain’t pink! (1 Viewer)

[Pipemasta808]

Cheers to all! Relatively new here. 2 questions. Where can I source wiper blades for OEM April 71’ FJ55?
Secondly, what color is my Pig!? I’ve searched all over the forums and resources and understand the white is Olympus White, not Cygnus... but what color is this grey? It’s not Heather gray which began in 72’ I believe. It almost has a bluish shade to it. Of course it’s faded a bit but not too much. Silver Gray? Athene Gray ? Gray....? I’ve looked at most of the resources provided and still don’t have a definitive color match. Many thanks on both points!

I'm not sure what they call it , but it has to be the only gray that year. Here's my 71....

We should be able to come up with a code for the paint.

Bingo- yes, I’ve seen a few 71’s grey- but have been searching hi and low to figure out which grey- stumped

I believe that’s the Silver Gray which was usedonly in 69’?? Many charts don’t even show a grey for 71’.

Just paint it green and be done with it.

I’m enjoying the good humor here! Lol! Anyone have a suggestion on wiper blade replacements?
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good Ride!

Try Anco 31-15. I'm not in the shop to check, but I have a 71 old style arms.

Edit... I changed the Anco number. The wipers I use are Anco 31-15. They are a 15" blade and they clip on the stock arm.

I just used generic 13" blades on my pig. Best tighten the arm spring too or they will jump all over the place at highway speed

Man I'm running 3:70's in MrPig and he will comfortably do 75 with that old tired 2F

Sniper don't hurt any either.

Your Pig looks awesome!!!! I’m old school with the F engine- but she does fine at 55-60....

Try Anco 41-03. I'm not in the shop to check, but I have a 71 old style arms.

My wiper arms are good and thankfully run strong- will the Napa Classic wiper blades work on these and the ANCO’s. Thanks for the reference! I think my wagon came with the original blades! Lol

@scrapdaddy might know if you can put just the rubber blade part on your existing blade frame. I just put black frames on mine and they snapped right in.

Nothing wrong with an F.5 engine. It's a boat anchor that burns gasoline
