I need to buy a replacement wiper motor for a 1959 Ford F-100. Are the wiper motors from 1957-1960 all the same? It is also missing the drivers side wiper linkage, are they also the same in the 57-60 trucks? I Also do the windshield wiper blades lay flat on the windshield? The one and only one I have, the p***enger side does not lay flat on the windshield. Possibly the wrong motor or linkage arm? Help. Thanks in advance. Runningiron
Should be all the same, either vacuum or electric. I dont think anyone is making a direct replacement for them though. Try this place. They can rebuild yours. Not sure about the wiper laying flat. Mine just sit right on the edge of the blade. http://wiperman.com/
Theres enough of those trucks around here. Try the pick-a-part and various knock off junk yards. Make it quick, Monsoons are here soon, mon.
Not sure about this, but I think part of the vaccuum wiper linkage is different than that of the electric wiper systems. There was a thread on another forum a couple of weeks ago about adapting a Ranger wiper motor and another about using the linkage from an 88 F150, so scooping up junkyarf 57-60 systems must be not so simple, at least by implication. I can't remember where I saw thest threads, but it may have been on the Fordtrucks site. I'm always on the lookout for this type of information for obvious reasons.
