Electric wipers - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

New Brothers sale flyer arrived today.
Electric conversion for wipers.
Anyone have any experience with those?
For '72 it listed "motor only". ???
Thanks

Why would you need to 'convert' to electric wipers?

A.P. · 10-25-2003, 03:22 AM

1969 GMC · 10-25-2003, 03:47 AM

are you running the optional electric wiper delete? vacuum powered or hand cranked?

krue · 10-25-2003, 11:20 AM

Mine came from the factory with electric wipers. Didn't yours?

cableguy0 · 10-25-2003, 11:28 AM

all these trucks at least 67-72 had electric wipers

Dads72 · 10-25-2003, 09:42 PM

Okay.
The truth is, I heard you were having a contest for the dumbest question of the year award, so thought I would enter.
Duh!
Actually, I'm so tired of those slow wipers that, when I saw the ad, I figured this would be a fix.
Sorry for the dumb-attack.
Now someone will probably tell me that there is an electric starter on the truck so I don't have to use that hand crank.
Going to go soak my head in used motor oil.
Jeesh!

krue · 10-25-2003, 11:23 PM

In Mississippi we call it a brain-fart!

Don't worry it happens to everybody!

Longhorn Man · 10-25-2003, 11:55 PM

No need to soak your head in used oil...we'll just give you 10 lashings with a TH400 dip stick if we ever see you at a board meet.

A.P. · 10-26-2003, 01:27 AM

lol.

Dads72 · 10-26-2003, 04:53 PM

"we'll just give you 10 lashings with a TH400 dip stick if we ever see you at a board meet"

Okay - but it had better be electric.

CPNEJR · 10-26-2003, 06:46 PM

If you want something electric we could also use part of a wiring harness that went to the wipers

CPNEJR · 10-26-2003, 06:55 PM

If you want to talk to sombody about brain -farts you should talk to me. My whole life is a brain fart

CPNEJR · 10-26-2003, 08:26 PM

the worst thing about having brain-farts is when you can't remember what you did in a certain class to write about what you did if you have school

Longhorn Man · 10-26-2003, 08:57 PM

Hmmm, lashings with an electric dip stick...I like the way you think.
Should we go with 110, or 220?

Make sure it's not Pennzoil. I understand the parafin is hard to get out of your hair.

If were going to lash him with an electric dipstick no sense in using the small stuff. We'll take him to a power plant and give him 500KV. That will knock some sense into him or kill him. Wait that seems a little harsh.

1969 GMC · 10-27-2003, 01:35 AM

but WHATEVER you do, don't use Valvoline MaxLife.

I didn't recognise this quote back in 03... I guess I just needed 8 years to let it sink in huh?

Dark Knight · 01-12-2011, 12:01 AM

lol. Maybe by now Brothers have introduced the intermittent electric wipers.

CG · 01-12-2011, 12:06 AM

I heard they have a really nice back up vacuum motor now in case your power goes out.

Longhorn Man · 01-12-2011, 06:11 PM

Lmao!
