The intermittent wipers weren't super uncommon, but in a '75 it would have been rare. They became more common as the years went on. On the other hand, grab that hand throttle setup. That's very hard to come by.

The wiper switch is RARE. It is unique to pre 77 trucks and was a stand alone piece. I have only ever found 2 of these. Quite a few 78 and newer trucks had the intermittent wipers but it was a different system. Looking at the SPID I would hope you stripped the harder to find options. There are several people looking for the wood floors but they are hard to pull and even harder to ship.
