No....I just dont like them.
Do you plan to go to the hood squirters. I imagine a electric pump in good shape those would be OK but you would be left with an aftermarket kind unless there is a spot where you could fish one to get a shot on windshield

Dorman 42631 is Ford - picture shows spline type but spec says splines+flange nut - J-hook - Length: 21.75 IN

My '84 C-20 arm is only 15" - interesting Dorman does not list an arm for it

dorman # 42591 and 42630 are what I found, both are 18 inches long I looked at the pics and both are spline push on type, but no mention of the spline diameter. My GMC has .61 size spline.

these are for a Jeep,and a ford, neither had wet arm stuff,both were hook ends, I went on the dorman website and searched windshield wiper arms. at 18 inches they might work. I would have to switch to cowl squirters but not a big deal for me

DORMAN 42631 is for a Jeep i think, minor modifications allow it to use a j hook and someone used 18 inch wipers and they worked ok
I saw this and got some 42631s and paired them with Trico 25-180 (18") but the wiper arms don't have enough oomph to hold the blade flat.

This did not work for me. I'll go bend the arm I guess.
