My 37 has 2 different wiper arms/blades and I'm not sure they are correct. The drivers side has an electric motor and the arm is attached to the shaft with a screw. The passenger side is not connected to anything inside the truck (no linkage to the other wiper) and this arm just pushes on to the shast similar to late model arms. Is this correct or has this been altered prior to my ownership?

Originally the wipers ran off vacuum, not electric and most only had one.




These old bolts are in my blood. Hard thing is focusing on just one.

...and yes, the wiper blade arm was installed and a nut was screwed down on it. The nut had a rounded "cap head" and would screw down through the arm onto the stem that comes through from the eide. My 37 had on right side windshield wiper but the inside plate was there to install one if I wanted. Sounds like someone had fitted one in yours or maybe installed some type of aftermarket.... although my electric aftermarket had a "stem" on it just like the original. Hope this helps.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.

I have seen one where there was link across the glass to the right arm coming from the left arm. Both arms worked off one motor. And as stated, they were vacuum motors, no electrics were ever installed for years to come.
