Default Wiper arm question

Looking for wiper arms with the conventional j-hook design. I know my 94 has the stupid reverse j-hooks, what years have the conventional j-hook? Is it 98-02 or did they go back in 95?

trico exact fit are the correct blades for the 93-97 fbody, usually rockauto has them really cheap.

Yeah, but as my car gets older and parts become harder to find I don't like the idea of having such a small selection to choose from. Simple fix...switch wiper arms.

Finding wipers are not that hard for our cars. I have a set of Trico Flex on mine and they fit just fine and I have the reverse hooks. Been on there for 4 years now.

The only threads I've seen, not on this site, have said direct fit replacement.
