Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
I don't see a bottle opener in my future (hey I drink Bud Light...twist off!) A bit of advice for all you gearheads out there. I traded an old jet ski years ago for a parts washer and a STEAM CLEANER and that thing has been one of the best things I've ever scored! I was using it tonight and that thing kicks ass! I also did some wheeling and dealing for a cabinet sand blaster (full of aluminum oxide) and those 2 things are the best investment I ever made for working on cars and trucks! Just a thought...

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
I am hoping to pick up a first series 55 shortly and your build is very motivating. I have alot more time and ideas than cash so your idea is right on in my book. Thanks for posting pics. Great work so far.

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
Frame is sandblasted and painted! All the little pieces were blasted and painted and A-arms have new bushings and ball joints. It's starting to look like a frame again!
  Still not spending a bunch of money (about $175 in paint and metal etch primer. And around $250 for all new front bushing and ball joints) just taking my time and doing it right! I'm a HUGE believer in RED Locktite on any suspension or frame piece, blue on everything else. It's a little dusty, but you can see that the semi-gloss black works good on all the underside stuff.

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
I was going through some pics of the truck and was laughing at how old the paint really is!
 With the striping rubbed through in spots, it really does look old.

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
WIPERS!!!!!! Finally, for those of you who have patiently waited I'm finally going to give you what you asked for! I'll try to install it this weekend and show you what I did. Here's a basic S-10 Blazer rear window wiper motor.
 Here's the basic, bare metal bracket. It's .125" cold rolled flat stock that's been laser cut and bent.  Here it is put together  . I need to finish fabbing the linkage piece that mounts to the motor. I'm still not sure what the trick is to making the high and low speed work on this thing either.

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
No doubt, my dad and I had been talking about this last week, wondering if we could adapt anything for my truck and his 52 sedan.
Very cool. |

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
This is an awsome thread. It will be a while before I am down to taking care of these types of projects. But I will file it under "to do".

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
Here's the pivot bracket and it welded to the locking collar
 I tacked the bracket onto the collar with my MIG welder. On the ones that go out, they will be TIG'd. Here it is on the motor.

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
Wow, what a frustrating day! When I first started working on the wiper design back in April, I figured the twist in my design was too thin of steel on my bracket. When I had my friend cut it out for me, I had him make it the way I originally designed and make it without the side reliefs to bolt a possible brace to. Well I had to go with the latter! I bolted up the one in the upper pics and it put just enough twist (those little motors are really torquey!) that I realized that heavier bracket wasn't going to work either. Thank goodness I'd had him make the other bracket too.
 So I bolted it up and used an existing hole in the cowl vent lever brace with a piece of 1/2" steel.  Here it is bolted up.  Don't laugh at the bolt length on the pivot link, I had to figure out how to get the pass. side to not hit cowl vent (notice hinge in background)! I'm so frustrated with how much slack/movement is in the original system and how tough it is to make them be perfect! You could just bolt it on and make it close, but I don't want close I want dead nut! I need to measure the bolt length and make that right and double check everything again! Sheesh

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
After fighting the passenger side wiper, I realized there was way too much flex in the factory bar/rod that runs from the motor to the wiper itself. With all the extra movement, I couldn't get it to be as stable as the drivers side. I'm now making a non-flex set of rods for BOTH sides to try and get this setup to work correctly!
