This is such a purist question, but I removed these from my dad's 70 Swinger. One says trico the other says amco. Did they come this way? Or was one replaced at some point? Trying to put on what the car would of originally had. I know it's such a minor thing but I like the details. They have subtle differences between the two.

I don't know which, but one of them is not correct. They would not have come with two different makes and styles "I don't believe". Anything's possible, I guess. I always wonder though, how in the WORLD anyone can ever replace nice stainless blade holders with junk plastic? That was one of the first things I did to Vixen when I got her, was find the correct arms and blade holders. I THINK the Trico may be the correct one, but I am not 100%. Maybe some more smarter than me folks will know.

Dad's car was such a hodge podge of all different model years, just thrown together to make the car road worthy. So I'm sure one was replaced at some point. It's such a small part but just the look of the plastic wipers makes me cringe. Looks like a new car. Thats The last thing I want.
 
I looked on ebay for you and there are some on there that are correct, but boy oh boy do people think a lot of them. lol
 
Put you a wanted ad up when you find out for sure which arms you need and for the blade holders too. I'm sure a member here has some. Maybe you can get a deal. I have an extra pair of early A arms, but they won't fit yours.

Heck yeah, there you go. @Lee Robinson might know which are correct. He's a good dude. I tagged him so maybe he'll chime in.
 
Look for sales literature of the time.

One arm has 1 rivet the other has 2 you might see that detail in the photos
 
Found this in the factory parts book
