I've read that an vw beetle wiper motor will bolt right in the AD trucks. Is there truth to this? appreciate conformation.

Thats what mine has in it.Or thats what I was told.The little I looked at it ,It dosn't look like it was a bolt on mod,but it don't look like he needed to do anything to bad to make it fit.I can't say how good it works because I just put the windsheild in and haven't had a chance to put the wiper arms back on.But if you want I could try to get a picture, but they wouldn't be very good one's.

I was told the same thing for my '46 Panel. That the VW units would fit inside the cover with no problem. I was told you may have to remove and mod the mounting brackets but if you can find soome in a local yard it would be cheaper then new units. I got 2 sets from American Classic Trucks that fit under the cover just fine.

They aren't quite a bolt in. Check out this link on Hotrodders.com (pages 18 and 19)
The guy has documented a step by step retro-fit of one on a '53 pickup.
