Here are my modified wiper arms. The donor arms are from a 94-01 Dodge Ram. I removed the springs, removed the screws, opened the crimp a bit and slid the end pieces out. I cut the Ram arms to length, ground them to the same width as the pieces I removed, drilled holes, and reassembled. Super easy and now I can use a 12” blade available at most auto parts stores. Enjoy.

One of those things that make you go "duh" as you bang yourself on the head. Nice work!
