53-54 chev wipers

What is the best aftermarket 12v wiper system for 53-54 chevy cars?

 

Darryl Withers was marketing his own kit that used an International truck motor and rods to replace the cables. This was a ways ago when I still had my '53. I'll see if I can chase up his number.

Cheers, Matt

 

Bttt

 

Over here I used Pacific Western Design. The unit can be ordered with either two speeds or intermittent wipers. Kinda spendy but it works well. Check on www.pacificwesterndesign.com

 

I used a cable set up on my 53. I have a how to on my website..

 

Try a '55-'57 Chev wiper motor. 3 screws & it's done.

 

Newport Engineering makes a motor that bolts right in. I have used one for 10 years with no problems. The info below is from their website. Phone number is 1-800-829-1929

After putting a newport on my falcon, I do not think I could use them again. not enough sweep, just a 90 degree..

 

Have you tried to adjust the position of the wiper arms? Are they adjusted to far down when in the off position. The reason I ask is because mine goes a little more than 90 degrees.

 

Thanks for all your help guys i will check them all out
