1960 And 1961 Owners Please Help

[Captainfab]

As some of you may know, I volunteered to help member twouvakind determine the changes necessary to make his windshield wiper delay work with the '60-'66 trucks. I have sorted through the wiring and wiper switches for the '62-'66 years, but I need help in confirming the wiring on the '60 and '61 trucks. I have a cab with wiring, that I believe is a '61 (VIN tag is gone) and a corresponding wiper switch. This seems to be about the only change to the wiper wiring. I am having trouble finding a '60 and '61 locally to confirm my suspicion that the '60 and '61 both have the same wiper wiring. So I was hoping some of you guys with '60's and '61's could take a peek at your wiper switch wiring and let me know if yours looks the same or similar to the pics below.

And here are a couple pics of the wiper switch. This one happens to be a 2 speed with the washer.

I also learned something in doing all this research on the wiper motors and switches. I used to think that '63 was the first year for the 2 speed and washer option. That is not so, they were available in at least '61 and '62. I have not confirmed if it was available in '60. So if one of you has a '60 with the 2 speed wipers and washer, please post up.

Don't know if it helps any CaptanFab, but the kick panels w/cables should be 60-61, so I think your right on the year. Also....my 2 speed switch and wiper motor were supposedly pulled from a 62 and I have the same switch as posted above. Im just missing the wiring harness, so can't help there.

I should be getting my truck back soon, and will snap a few pics for you then .

Would GMC matter? I can look tonight at mine. I know it is only single speed though.

Sorry, mine is only a one speed and no washer.

I have a 60 K20 and it has a 2 speed wiper and washer button in the middle of the knob. Mine looks exactly the same as the pics.

Finally made it home tonight.

Mine is single speed, and GMC. The wire is white (I think).

[Captainfab]

Thanks for the confirmation VonDog. I was hoping that the '60 wiring was the same as the '61 wiring

Thanks for the reply chevy_man5. Yes the white wire is the correct one.

one speed on mine sorry

[jonzcustomshop]

I have a 60 cab, and a 61 chev and gmc, all are going to be washer free,, but I will take a look and get some shots for you.

[jonzcustomshop]

the only one that had anything left was the 61... just standard wiper though... 1 white wire that goes into the harness.....

btw check out the wasp nest on the cluster!!

[Captainfab]

Thanks for the pics Jon.....Yeah, looks like they built a condo in there.....hope you didn't get stung?

[jonzcustomshop]

I didn't see the nest until just now.....

the 60, also had the one white wire, but it had been cut and spliced with something,, it was a 60 series
the 61 gmc4000, same deal 1 white wire...

[Captainfab]

Yep, the '60-'63's all seem to have just the white wire for the single speed wipers

Captain,

I have a '61 Chevy standard package and I confirmed that it has the original 2 speed wiper motor. No washer.

Did you get your pic you needed or is this enough?

[Captainfab]

My main objective with this thread was to confirm that both the '60 and '61 with the 2 speed wipers and washers, have the same switch and wiring as in the pics that I posted in post #1. This is in a effort to help member twouvakind with his installation instructions for the wiper delay that he is making for the '60-'66 trucks. Thanks for your input.
