Can you tie a string to one wiper, route the string to the side of the windshield, then into the cab and tie a string to the other wiper and bring it inside the other side of the cab? Get a buddy to ride with you when it rains and you guys just take turns pulling on the strings to make the wiper work....as fast or as slow as needed. Oh, you'd have to have the linkage working, but won't be anything under the dash! Some good nylon cord might be the best thing for longevity.

Ray, you crack me up!!!.

Try a lower profile wiper motor like the 80's vintage S-10 truck & S-10 Blazer wiper motor. I have one on my 68 Camaro but the truck wiper motor has a different bolt pattern. You will have to mess with the mount bolt pattern & firewall seal issue and the pivot arm orientation but those are pretty easy fixes compared to relocating your PCM and under dash wiring.

It also uses a separate electric washer pump to give you even more room. I used an 88-98 truck washer jar with attached but hidden electric washer pump with this wiper motor.
