Re: Halfbreed - GMC Z71 + IH Extd Cab
Pics 1&2 are of my conversion of the IH wiper arm ends over to more modern style so that I could use newer, better designed wiper blades. I could never figure out how to get those 60's style blades to release off the end of the arms back in the day and I still can't now!
While I was at this mod I increased the length of the arms by 1/2" and the blades by 2" to try and cover more useful windshield area. I may have to drop down 1" on the blade length after these wear out.
Pics 3-5 are of my new cover for the IH air inlet grille. My cousin in law did the grill area fill work and then I added the screw studs and the protective paint. I had to leave this as a removable cover for access to the wiper linkage rather than simply weld it in like many others do.
The cowl area is beginning to look a lot more cleaned up now. But I still have a ways to go before it is finished. Stay tuned!
