I was at several Men's Malls today looking for parts for several projects. All of them were a mess. . .
There were dead vehicles from the CARS program just stacked (actually) all over. The better bodies and prices marked on the doors and glass that were extraordinarily low and people were hauling parts out like it was some sort of a sidewalk sale.
In one yard there was a row of Lumina/Silhouette/Trans Sport and I almost stopped to collect a bouquet of wiper arms, but I was out of time at that point. I've got my set or I would be headed back there.
If you need stuff for any decade old vehicle, it is worth your while to go and look.

Matt,
Which Men's Malls do you visit. I only recently discovered Parts Galore (one on 8 mile near VanDyke and one on West Warren east of Livernois.)
It was so much fun, I'm looking for others to visit. And I didn't get any wiper motors or arms either, as I was rushed for time as well,(roped into hunting down parts for a friend's daughter's car . . .) but thinking of making another run soon. Plus, I promised I would hunt down some connectors for Ken Henderson, when I get a chance.
Take care,
Craig

Craig,
Waterford is a long way from here, are you sure you want to drive three/quarters of an hour before you start?
Dive into switchboard.com, put in used autoparts - Waterford,Mi and then change to Distance to clear out the paid entries. Call each and ask if they let people wander and pull on their own. Many yards do not allow that these days.
Also, read the note from Ken.

I sure wish I could find a mens mall in the Milwaukee area that would let me go in and get my own stuff.
Every place I've been in here you go in and up the counter and they check their computer for "inventory"......with a $25 min charge for anything.

Your Kit requires the Lumina wiper motor?

Craig,
I appreciate the thought of getting Lumina wiper motor connectors. But, my
previous solicitation was so successful, I've got a several year supply in
stock. Better to get motors to sell to folks to encourage them to order my
kits! 
Thanks anyway,
Ken Henderson

What is the advantage of the Lumina Wiper Arm and is it only the Drivers side that is of interest.If so, do you use two drivers side arms?

Yes, You use two of the drivers side arms. The passenger side does not have the bend in it to get over the windshield. Look at the photo book, or some of the GMC photos to see what is required. You pull off the old arms, put a taper on your "new" arms and bolt them on. Piece of cake.
