My 1953 3100 has Windshield washer nozzles on the cowl and I have the bottle, bracket and vacuum pump. Now for the questions. the lid is almost completely rusted away, kinda looks like the lid from a mason jar, but the ones we have don't fit, the diameter of the washer is to large. Next I was wondering how it was hooked up. I have seen reference to the foot pump, but see no evidence of the foot pump in the truck. Would that have operated the vacuum pump?
I have a right side mirror that looks nothing like the modified "S" shape in the catalogs, but then again my left side mirror doesn't drop down like most that I see. The right side has a rectangular mirror head and the left side is the round head. Are these correct or something that got picked up along the way?
Any help is always appreciated.
Mike

The right arm is really bent, like an S. the left on the 47-50 are different from the 51-55. If you look for a replacement, their round. At least in all the catalogs I have they are HMMMMMM. | | |
