more wiper blues

[hogfarm]

My friend is restoring a 59 fleetside short bed.He has invested a lot of money,including buying a new cab from DynaCorn.The problem he has is the cab he bought is for a 55-59.The wiper motor he has is a 59,it does not fit.Cab has mounts for a 55-57.is there such a thing as a 2 speed electric wiper motor that will bolt into a 55-57?I will post some pictures of his progress it's nice so far

Not sure if this will work for him. I have no experience with these but am thinking about using this on my '47. Maybe someone else has used these and will chime in?

No help on the wiper. Does the cab come with both sets of hinge mounts, 58-59 are different that 55-57?

I may be wrong but I don't think Dynacorn sells a 55-59 cab, its 55-57 and the difference is as you found out the wiper motor fitment plus a few other minor changes. Aftermarket wiper is the fix, either the one linked above or raingear wipers.

There is a wiper motor set up in the classifieds, check here:

Maybe it's what he needs.

Take your pick, there are a couple of options seconds http://www.classicparts.com/Motors/products/129/

Or a new price to compare with the price of the one in the classifieds.

Mr 48 chevy
you know a lot about these old trucks.I know a place here local where there are 20-25 TF trucks in a field.I bought the wiper motor for my 58 and hood latch for $10.00.Guy will not sell whole trucks but has sold me any part I have needed

Personally, I love the vacuum wipers. I drive a car every single day with them, they get the job done and with some "character."

I have a 57,and they are two speed wipers. I parted out a 55, and have some parts left over

orrieg makes a good point, have you fit the hood hinges on this cab?

I got curious and checked the DynaCorn site. They list the cab as 55-57, which will work with 58-59 sheet metal, but hood hinges will need to be reworked. All other fender and inner fender mounts are the same.
