Be an ideal part fior @DoubleNickels to look into. They all seem to be brittle and cracked

Sheck, this might be a good time for upgrading either to the new pig arms or something more modern. If you look at the end where the wiper arm slips on, that pot metal piece strips out and you lose the wiper arm. The newer one have a different system to hold on the wiper arms, just something to do while you have the dash all out. For a wagon such as yours, I would hate to have the wipers fall off at the worst time (when you need them) and the new owner calling you.

I made some new pieces out of alum. and JB Welded them to the plastic piece, which worked for that, but never had a good fix for the stripped out crap gear on the end. That's why Pigeaten (thanks Don!) fixed me up with the new style, which I haven't gotten to tearing apart my dash yet to replace. I believe you'll need to replace the arms as well when doing the switch. I believe the motor should mate up, not sure yet.

Upgrading the wiper mech to later requires the cowl also to be swapped if it’s even possible .

Cowl? meaning the bolt in piece under the windshield. I didn't realize that part.

Yes. The indention for the wiper shafts changes in 74’ when the hood changed.

What are you guys using for the Rubber cap that covers the rod on the outside under the arm ????
I need two . Hijack ???

Next pig party I'll have to take a look at some newer models, should be a work around for fitting the newer wiper pieces. Thanks for sharing that.

Mike, how many times have you been to pig farm? Walked by a set every time

Got this set on a 70, I’m parting out, pretty clean

I bet a guy could modify an older cowl to fit the newer wiper pivots.

a little metal work and paint

It’s cheaper to just replace the cowl! If it lines up with all the holes on early truck. But you can see the two different wiper areas on those two cowls above.

 

[DoubleNickels]

Glad to assist if there's a need to reproduce these pieces. As before I just need an old one to reverse engineer!
