These wiper arms were on my '68 Charger when I bought it more than 10 years ago.  I wonder if they are factory original or aftermarket? They do have trico stamped into them but most '68s I've seen have a wiper arms that slide into the wiper blade.

mine are not like the ones pictured, mine are straight & slide into the blade.

:iagree:
They should be the same as my 67 and look like this. Usually they were Anco in those years.

Could the Trico blades have come on the Anco arms?

So I can assume that mine are aftermarket wiper arms?

Parts book lists both so my guess is the factory used what ever they had on hand.

Is that the answer to my, or plainfield's question?

Sorry, that was confusing. I was referring to blades. Both were used. 
However the arms are as stated earlier. All I have ever seen on 67s were Anco. While I believe that to be correct for 66, 67 and 68.
Also pictured below.
