  ?any interchange for '39 wiper arms? the parts list indicates a "99A- " part number implying that these are unique. What wiper arms can be used on the Merc in place of originals?

  I had Ficken bend a set for me back in the 80's. They were quite pricey.

Looking at the reproduction arms, the commercial and truck arm seems to be the closest to the original. Thy are longer than the Ford car arms and have the same attachment as the original.

  HI
some OLD TIME parts venders have TRICO wiper arms that can be ajusted in length and angle,
these will not be for judging but will do the job,
how are you arms connected to the pivots ?
put a want ad in the V8 TIMES,

  Arms connect to pivots with a screw to hold them on the post (? does that describe it)
my current plan is to disassemble the arm which is loose and dented, straighten it and reassemble - I hope that works
