Thanks guys! Appreciate the comments
The image of the wiper back on the truck is the finished wiper arm. Both are done and back on the truck now. I used the end piece, that attaches to the spline post for the wiper linkage, from the panel wiper arm. I drilled out the rivit on that arm and the one on the 92 dodge arm. I used a stainless machine screw and bolted the mounting piece to the dodge arm, I used rubber washers for spacers in between. I used the dodge wiper arm, it’s aluminum with a steel end, as both wiper arms were facing the same direction when mounted and were to long I had to cut and turn the passengers side end piece, were the wiper blade attaches. I had to cut out two sections for each arm, retaining the bend at the end, and weld it back together. I then used the fluid sprayers and tubing from a 2007 Suburban wiper arms. I drilled the bracket, in the 2007 arm, that holds the first of two sprayers in place and drilled out the rivit in the center of the dodge arm, I used another stainless machine screw to replace the rivit and fasten the bracket from the 2007 arm. The 2007 arm has a small drill indent in the steel part of the arm, so I replicated that on the dodge arm. The dodge arms have way beefier springs and the mounting system for the blades is a pin style so they are easy to install. I used a 15” wiper blade off the shelf and the fit and function is good so far. Haven’t tested it on the highway in the rain yet.
I still plan on painting the truck Neptune green and white two tone, one day, after I get it running and using it and saving up for the materials. I did buy a 1960-1961 GMC hood, thanks Nik, needs metal repairs, that I will get onto one day as well. For now the Chevy hood is looking good. More to come. I have been looking at auto fabrics and vinyls from SMS auto fabrics, man they are beautiful but spendy!! Especially after Canadian conversation, like 185 per yard and I’m going to need 4-5 yards of fabric and 4-5 yards of vinyl for what I’m planning and all three seats.
Any one have any good/ reasonably priced places they use in mind? Preferably in Canada
I was able to get out last weekend and get the fluid lines ran and the tank mounted, just need to get that wired in and test it out. One thing knocked out at a time
I didn’t take any in progress photos of the wiper arm build but if you need more info or specific pics let me know
Stay tuned
