over here they often use a wipermotor and drive out of a classic mini it has a flexible ribbed push pull cable running through a pipe and you can just about bend it every way you need to move it and move the capstands where ever you need them to be as long as the cable is long enough and it works
you can either get sumtin from a wreckersyard or buy them new

Mike, Speciality Power Windows offers a wiper kit that is cable driven. The universal kit sells for around $265, they have them for 47-59 pickups. They are easy to install and very good directions....Jim

This is what I'll be using on my square. You can basically mount the wiper motor just about anywhere as long as the push/pull cable will reach the farthest wiper arm mount. A buddy has it on his '32 Chevy coupe and it works really sweet!

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy

i am a little puzzled on the rear floor, the front of the floor has bolts in it but the back of the floor is welded, the outside underneath of the rear wheel tubs are bolted and the inside is welded, i havent got my side panels out in the back yet so maybe i am missing something that i will see once i remove those panels, but does the inside floor in the back come out if you unbolt it all ??

Maybe even keeping it in mind of it being able to be expanded to 20 x 40 to make room for Square Peg in the future!
