The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area The Electrical Bay 12v electric windshield wiper motor options

Guys,

I'm exploring options for an electric motor for my 1949 chevy truck. I know about newport and have seen that LMC and other parts suppliers sell them.

I've also seen a few folks using a early 90s chevy s10 blazer rear window motor. Only drawback is that it is a single speed. Better than the vacuum original, but would like the option of at least a 2 speed.

I've seen a few for sale on ebay that say they would work for my truck. I think they were desoto motors. You know, the internet never lies right.

So the purpose for the post. I will ultimately make my decision as to which gives me what I want at the price I'm willing to pay. Just wanted to see if there were any options or opinions that I haven't found yet. Thanks

I installed the Newport on my 55 2nd gmc, only issue I had was blowing fuses when driving highway speed and a wind, went up a size larger on fuse and no issues. I even used stock dash knob with new switch.

I have one of the two speed 12 volt ones all the venders sell. The two speeds are slow and slower.
