47-55.1 Vacuum Wiper motor question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My 1950 has the original wiper motor in it with all the linkage, but does not have an actuator to turn them on. I assume (truck was apart when I got it) that the small arm on the vacuum motor is where the linkage would attach? Is the hole in the dash direct above it for the actutor (switch)?
Does everyone convert to electric? I have an LS with about 17-18" vacuum IIRC..Is it worth my time to connect and see if they work? I had a 53 willys previously that used vacuum wipers and they were ok.
