Thanks!

Not sure about anyone else, but I'll be doing the S10 frame swap so anything I can use from the donor S10 is a plus.

Makes things easier down the road when you have to buy parts too. "Hmmm, now what kind of vehicle was this from again?"

I used to have a 64 gmc and when someone asked me what year it was I'd say, 64, 87, 93 and a couple others I don't remember.

"Hooking up my laptop to my 64 to check the codes" Priceless.

I used a wiper motor, washer pump and reservoir and switch from a from a '93 S10 blazer. it sweeps rater than rotates. Like others have said it only has one speed. I also used the washer nozzle off of the rear arm and mounted it to the '54 3100's wiper arm on the drivers side. the rear nozzle sprays down and across, so you only need the one nozzle. You do need some fabrication skills. The system works good. If I had to do it over I would get a wiper motor for a boat, they have multiple speeds and are fully adjustable for sweep and are made to be easily adapted.

Great info on this thread! In my searching for a donor wiper motor I came across replacements for late 70s early 80s jeep CJs for $33 and am considering trying one. the earlier 76-82 models are a 3 wire (single speed?) and the later 83-86 is a 4 wire (2 speed?). http://www.ebay.com/itm/Windshield-W...3D182012548856

The boat motor is attractive due to the adjustability and it seems as if the aftermarket kits use the same motor assembly as the boat setups.......

Has anyone considered or used the jeep motor in their truck?
