The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk 1946 Wiper setup

My truck came with a 2 wiper setup but somewhere along the line lost the passenger wiper. The driver side motor was loose inside the headliner. Is it attached to the cab ceiling by the wiper arm? What all is needed to re-attach this? I'm not concerned about the vacuum at this point. Do the new wiper arms come with attaching hardware?

To install the motor first place the ~1" long adapter bushing over the end of the shaft. Next insert the shaft through the hole in the cab. Place the rubber seal over the protruding shaft followed by the specially shaped washer which conforms to the cab profile. Finally install the chromium plated nut on the end of the shaft to hold everything in place. At this point the wiper arm can be installed.

Those attaching parts are available but do not come with the wiper arms.

I'm missing everything on the outside. I see where to get the seal and what I assume is the washer but called a chrome bezel. The nut would be found at the local hardware store? Are these wiper arms all special order or will something at the store work?

You could try and put an ad in truck parts wanted I've gottin some parts from that .
