Does anyone have info on the windshield washer system used on a 50 chevy truck/panel/burb? Did GM make one or were they after market? No. and pics would be very helpful as well as the years they were the same. I know they were a mechanical system.
Thanks in advance
Dave

TRICO and other aftermarket [used/NOS] would be your only source, not GM, or you could adapt an electric pump from a late model

GM Part Number: 986537 WINDSHIELD WASHER - FOOT OPERATED

This style was a GM truck accessory prior to 1954.

Here are 5 illustrations/photos from Denny Graham's photo album.

Obsolete Chevrolet Parts supposedly sells them?

Another listing - same vendor?

They show 51-53, but I think it was the same from 49-53. A unit with a different style jar was supposedly available in earlier years.

Random photo from a web search.

Tim; Thanks for the info. It was very imformative and helpful. I saw one at a swapmeet this past weekend and wasn't sure if it was the right one. Do you know where the part number is on one of these washers?
Again thanks for all you do to help us as we try to be backyard mechanics.

Dave,

I am also a backyard mechanic. And, I also appreciated the things that I learn here every day.

I think the only place you would find a part number would be on the box it came in.

Post a Want Ad in the Swap Meet. Give the part number, and say you are interested in NOS or used. Ask for photos to be mailed to you and then compare with the parts at the links that I gave.

Good luck,

Dave,

The part number is only found on the box, instructions, or hardware envelope contained in the kit. You will find photos of mine in my picture folders (some factory). I purchased the complete NOS set-up off eBay where they appear frequently $$$$! I have the original instructions on a PDF I can send to you. Send me a PM if you are interested.
