47-59 Electric Wiper on 59 GMC Fleet

[dennislbrooks]

I used LMCs electric wiper conversion to replace the oe vacuum setup. My 59 GMC should be like at least the 58 if not near all 47-59. It is maybe somewhat a universal kit for those years. It has adjustments.

I like the 2-speed kit and LMC had good pricing. I did have to remove both existing arm bushings that mounted to the stock motor arm. (I did in truck) Then you use all the bushing supplied on new motor arm, It is a good idea to fit the 2 allen wrenches to the arm adjustment. If they do not point down when mounted, rotate before you do the initial install. Remove wiper blade arms beforehand also. They are near the last to put back on.

My stock black plastic knob would not work as it is hex and the switch is half-moon but they do send a chrome stock like pot knob that I will blast and paint black sometime.

Looks great!

The LMC universal Wiper mount looks to be pretty straight forward!
It's nice when you don't have to re-direct linkage to make things work out for you, especially under a dash board!

I have decided to stick with my vacuum wiper motors for the first re-birth of my RestoMod.
The 2 speed kit I bought off of Ebay would not fit in my truck because of my AC unit and too much time had passed before I could make a return.

Will have that up for grabs after my build completion.
