Windshield wiper test

[cranetruck]

Sort of, wasn't driving...They are a lot more effective than the deuce wipers and they park themselves when shut off. They are air powered by Sprague units.
..gotto find something better to do....

Do you have to take the wiper arms off to fold the windshield?

Are the arms and blades the same as a deuce? If so, the Saturn upgrades work great. You could try them.

The windshield doesn't fold like on the deuce, it's removed entirely. It's a two man job and would require the removal of the wiperarms and the heater controls, which are mounted on top frame piece above the driver.
Needless to say, it's not done often and when done, the windshield is stowed in the compartment along the rear of the cab.

Will, the blades are much longer than the deuce blades. I'm using NAPA 60-1650 and they are 16 inches long.

Neat storage spot. You'll have to find something to stick in there.

I can picture the look on the parts counter guy's face when Bjorn walks in! (Bjorn)"I need some wipers for a 1969 ford XM757" (counter guy) Ahh, Is that a jet"?

They must love him or hate him!
