I think I would get an eye dropper or hypodermic needle and put ATF in the wiper before trying to check it out. Let is sit overnight at least. This will lube it up and soften the paddle. It shouldn't take a LOT of effort to get it to moving, but as everything gets a good coating of ATF it should work with very little effort.

Most any of your vintage parts dealers should have an arm and blade. I know, at least on 35-36 pickups the wiper arm should be black. Not chrome.
