What size wiper blades for 68 442?

I know, silly question. I can't find my dang wiper blades. I see Trico Classic are stainless steel blades...I have 16" blades on my 70 F85...same size for my 68 I assume? Rock Auto lists both 16 and 18" blades for 1968 442...puzzled and loosing my memory.
Part number for 16" Trico Classic's are 33-162 which seem a little tough to find...better buy some refills while I am at it!

18 might fit idk for sure. i would go to a local parts store to try it first, then decide what ones you need for sure.

All the 1968-72 A-body cars used 16" wipers on both sides. The 64-67 cars used 15", as did the 61-63 cars.
