[osagecruiser]

The WS wiper motors look stock to me. I don't think the torsion bar would be stock.

 

[osagecruiser]

if the torsion bar isn't stock....whoever installed it must have been japanese...cause it sure looks like it was made for the truck...brackets and welds are perfect....i tried to take a pic...but ran out of battery.....i will get a pic of it.what about that color?

 

[IDave]

Heck if I know about the color. Interestingly enough, the pale blue covered by a darker blue is what I have on my truck (covered by the latest, OD green). I think the pale blue is horizontal blue, possibly the original color.

 

[IDave]

Here's an early color chart. I know, hard to read.

dave check out the green on the tranny hump....it is in places that would not be covered by a repaint....that makes me think the green is the stock or original color....the blue is a repaint...

 

[IDave]

Maybe, or the tranny hump is a replacement. T453 maybe on that chart?

 

[osagecruiser]

what is the green 3 rd row down 2nd from the left?

 

[IDave]

T-453 AIDSON (maybe it's Hudson, like the river, or Judson) GREEN. That's the best I can make out for the spelling. The code is correct.

 

[osagecruiser]

thanks dave....my bet is that is the original color....i am really fond of spring green .... oh well i got time to think about that...many other issues to deal with...again thanks

cool. It's hard to tell from the pics but the blue does look like a repaint in the door jambs etc. I would look under the dash in hard to reach places and see what it has.

The wiper motors are stock. They are still available too. If one of yours doesn't work let me know those are the opposite direction wipers.

 

[osagecruiser]

opposite direction wipers?....explain please

[wesintl]

yours hang low on the upper windshield frame. In the park position the blade angles toward the driver side. The other style is the same motor but it sits higher on the ws frame and uses the same hole. In the stopped position the blade angles toward the passenger. More info here:

Love that air cleaner.
