I ordered the electric windshield wiper motor (12volt)for my 53 3100 I'm restoring. The instructions said that it must be used with the original motor bracket to attach it. My truck does not have this bracket. Does anyone know where I can get one? I have checked all of the salvage yards locally without any luck. Thanks.

It should mount where the original vacuum motor mounted.
Have you tried to install it ?

The truck did not have a motor in it when I bought it which is probably why the bracket was not there either. This seems to be a pretty hard part to find.

Put and ad in the Swap Meet section here is a picture of what you seek. It is the small Z shaped piece in the middle it bolts to your column support and then the motor and dash bracket that should be spot welded at the factory up underneath.

Here a pic of a 12 volt wiper installed in a 1950 Chevy.

The welded bracket Brad is referring to is on the left.
The Black one on the right is the one you’re missing. That is a new one that came with the kit I purchased

You may be able to call Newport They provide that bracket with the kit they sell. I don’t know if they sell the brackets alone but it worth a shot.

Good luck

Thanks to you and Brad for the pictures. I have all of the parts that Brad's picture has including the z shaped bracket. I bought the new motor from Brothers trucks. In their instructions they show the z shaped bracket attaching to a much larger bracket which attaches to one end of the motor. They say this larger bracket is the original. Is that the black one you are referencing or is that the dash bracket that Brad mentions? Sorry, I'm a little confused here but appreciate your patience.

The Black bracket in the pic is the same as the original in brads pic.

That z shape bracket and the one tacked to the dash are the two originals.

I used the black z shaped one that came with the kit I purchased from newport but it was the same as original.
