Another item for the Rarest of the Rare I haven't heard anyone mention
For those of you that are familiar with my for sale posts you know I find A LOT of stuff! Owning 2 77 GMCs I had heard that intermittant wipers existed but they were hard to find since they were one year only and an option. I finally found one of these and thought I would share. It is NOT the same as the 78 and newer set ups!

Is it '77 only? I don't know if it was available '76 & earlier.

Re: Anoter item for the Rarest of the Rare I haven't heard anyone mention
As far as I know it was 1977 only. Have you seen them earlier? I have a GM parts catalog for 73-77 and it only shows 1977

I think '77 was the first year. I do know that the factory gauge bezel on the intermittent wiper trucks is clearanced a little to clear the knob.

I checked the general info packets in the GM Heritage Center for intermittent wipers; no mention was made in 1976 or prior. I should mention that those packets did not have the free flow listing of RPOs like the later model years had (two speed wipers were mentioned in the Interior description text). For '77 - it does show intermittent wiper as available, under RPO CD4. K

Re: Anoter item for the Rarest of the Rare I haven't heard anyone mention
Our '76 is not delay, my '83 is. I do not recall seeing any before '77ish, I have the same catalog too...just boxed up a few hundred miles away.

Re: Anoter item for the Rarest of the Rare I haven't heard anyone mention
Will that kit convert a 75 or 76 to intermittent wipers without having to change the wiper motor.

Re: Anoter item for the Rarest of the Rare I haven't heard anyone mention
For a short period of time I had a chevy 'nomad' panel van that had one of those. I was under the impression that the van was an '82. I could be wrong though (it didn't have round headlights)

Re: Anoter item for the Rarest of the Rare I haven't heard anyone mention
This piece is 1977 specific! The 1978-1983 looked similar but had different wiper motors and a clear face instead of black. There are a TON of 78 and new intermittant wiper switches but they won't work on the 77 and earlier trucks.

Re: Anoter item for the Rarest of the Rare I haven't heard anyone mention
not sure the year but this must be the later one,
judging by the font from a yard too cleaned up and it plugged right in to the 78/79 Jimmys and works great love delay in the winter

Well, if you sell it to me then you don't have to agonize over which truck doesn't get it...
You ever come across the AM/FM/CB radio? Posted via Mobile Device
