Got a wild hair and decided to get the old rig out of mothballs and it looks like I have a few things to contend with!
MOST everything seems to be in reasonably good shape (considering the neglect) and short of a few plumbing leaks and water damage it shouldn't be too much of a struggle to back into being roadworthy.
Save for my wiper blades.
Apparently, wiper blade refills don't exist anymore and my wiper arms are not set up for the "J hook" replacements.
Has anyone else run into this problem?
I've been to auto part stores and even a truck stop as I was told that Semi trucks still use refills.
The "washing" feature is incorporated into the wiper blade so simply replacing the arm would mean that I have to reroute how the washing fluid squirts onto the windscreen.

Thanks in advance for any advice or input.
 
I've run into the problem to the extent that I'd rather be paying $3 for refills (including current hyperinflation) instead of $17 for a full blade support + refill in one overpriced package. I used to average ~3 $0.99 refills before the rubber and blade support both needed to be replaced. By 2050, when your tires wear out they won't be replaceable, you'll just pony up another $400K for a sedan or $950K for a decent 1/2 ton truck.

I ran into the exact samething with my 92 Pace Arrow . It haunted me for about a year . Check Oreilly Autoparts web site mine were 22 inches . They special ordered them for me . They aren't cheap I forget what I paid for them. I'm thinking about $30.00 a piece . That's the whole blade not a refill . Try that .
 
What I've done is found another set if blade assemblies that fit. Then I kept the old ones and used refills on them. So now when I need new blades (24") I just swap assemblies. Likewise you could just do refills as needed but some are a bit of a pain to change.
Refills, for example- https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08BZ9BXB8/?tag=rvf01-20
 
Thank you good folks for your input!
My current dilemma appears to have been resolved through the Bay of "E".
I wasn't 100% certain that the refills would fit but the price was right and so far well worth it!
Once I relearn how to do things like posting pictures, I'll post visuals of my progress.
In the meantime, here is the link to my solution.
