I learn something new every day.

I did not do enough research before I started my quest to add windshield wipers to Frankentruck. I have now found out that there are two styles of knobs and switches.

One style has a much smaller button for the washers and goes all the way through the knob. This style uses a set screw to secure the knob on the switch.

The other style has a bigger washer button molded into the knob. On this style, the button on the switch does not go all the way through the knob. The knob mounts with the 3 metal fingers just like a standard wiper without washer knob.

I got the knob with the bigger button from member DPowers, and that knob fits the switch I had purchased over a year ago when I first got this idea.

The other knob and switch came from Aspen Auto Parts. It was too good of a price to pass on. It had a nicer mounting screw on it, so I swapped that out today. My quest is complete on the windshield washer front.


I also finished the install of the new cab mounts. I put the front ones on last summer, but thought I had to remove the gas tank to get to the rear ones, so I didn't decide to do it until today. I did not know that the rear bolts have cage nuts inside the cab, so I got those swapped out in an hour. That included cleaning up the original bolts and painting them since I didn't want to cut out the cage nuts to use the wrong bolts supplied in the kit
