My '59 came to me with an elec. wiper motor, but that motor has failed. The motors I see from vendors all say "for conversion from original vacuum motor."
Did they put a factory elec. in any of the '59 1/2 tons or were they all vacuum? If so, I've got a conversion that's failed.
The pic I see on the American Classic site has both link arms mounting on the same side of the motor while mine has one on top and the other on the bottom.

I'm obviously concerned about fitment. Anyone been through this or have knowledge on what will/won't work?


A VW guy trying his hand at a '59 LB fs. Lots to learn, but it's about the journey.
