Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
Wow, no entries for a full week in this thread. It gets decidedly fewer visits since the format change lumping it into the FAQ heading.
Today I installed the original windshield wiper system in my truck. I normally use the electric conversion kits but those typically use the cowl vent framework as a bottom brace and some previous owner removed my cowl vent and related hardware so nothing to brace the big, heavy electric motor against (the electric motors are about three times the size and weight of the OEM vacuum motor). I don't mind using the old vacuum system; after all, it's not like I'm going to drive my truck in the rain much anyway. The next step will be to route the vacuum line to the engine and hope the 70-year-old wiper motor still works.
