1. Check your owner's manual: This is the most reliable source. The manual should specify the correct wiper blade sizes for your specific Suburban.
2. Look at the existing wiper blades: The size is usually printed on the blade itself.
3. Measure the existing blades: If the blades are still in place and legible, carefully measure the length of each blade.
4. Use an online wiper blade finder: Many websites allow you to enter your vehicle's year, make, and model to find compatible wiper blade sizes. However, double-check the results against your owner's manual or the blades themselves.
Without knowing your specific 1981 Chevy Suburban's details, I cannot provide the exact wiper blade sizes.
