Question on wiper lube ?
Is there a lube req. for the windshield wiper assembly ? I'm starting to put the '51 cab back together and seems like the moving parts are quite dry.
Merry Christmas to All. |

Re: Question on wiper lube ?
I use lubriplate (white lithium) on pivots and bushings.

You're only supposed to use them when it rains!  Sorry, it's Christmas eve and I couldn't help myself. Hope I still get that tach from santa. |

Re: Question on wiper lube ?
I'd go along with OrrieG, A minute dab of Lubriplate should do the job for years.

Re: Question on wiper lube ?
Coming up next: Blinker Fluid. Is synthetic really better?
 Lubriplate makes some good products. I have a can of Superlube that I would probably use for this application. |

Re: Question on wiper lube ?
As long as we are talking wipers I just noticed stock come in two lengths. I always bought the same for both side (16" I think). Can anyone tell me the correct length and which side the longer one goes one? Thanks in advance.

Re: Question on wiper lube ?
Orrie
Mine are the same length and were the original 12 in. blades when I got the truck back in 72. Today, I get universal blades from O'reilly's and cut them down to 12 inches and slide them in and put the clips and strips back in. O yea, me and the truck are lifelong pals................lucky for me the first wife didn't want any part of it.
