1954-55 windshield wiper kit?
Looking for a 12 volt wiper kit. Right now I have nothing. No hole in the firewall (smoothed) no brackets, no control arms, nothing. So looking for a complete kit. Something that will be hidden under the dash and use stock wiper switch hole. I've been looking at several kits such as Newport engineering (doesn't include everything). Classic industries has the complete kit for $500 but don't want to drop that much coin if I don't need to. Suggestions please! I'm a bit confused as I never saw how the original setup perturded into the firewall/engine compartment. So when all the manufacturers state it bolts into original location I don't know if it's visible in the engine compartment or not.

It's totally inside the cab, mounts off brackets in the middle, then rods take the drive to the arms that extend from inside to outside.
I can get photos but would be not till the weekend

Very cool thanks! I'm leaning toward raingear kit although pricey $450 it looks to be a good option

I've used the raingear kit on several trucks and its a nice kit, installs easily and it quiet. You will need the chrome bezels for your truck but I believe it includes most everything else and the new owner is more than helpful, if you get stuck. You can get two speed or two speed with intermittent.
