Question Mount for a 3rd windshield wiper.

On the area of the cab (cowl) where the wiper studs stick out for the wiper arms, there is a spot for a 3rd wiper stud on the passenger side of the truck.
Does anyone else have this spot that appears for a 3rd wiper?

Re: Mount for a 3rd windshield wiper.

There's a diagram for the "Export" wiper set-up in the 67-72 Factory Assembly Manual. Where to get the parts to change over the righthand wiper to the outer position [they only ever used 2] is another story.
It would be neat to see and it would definately get rid of that blind spot in the upper right of the windshield when you run into any heavy weather.
