Re: Dutch '59 Fleetside Longbed

I hope the 59 motor mounts the same as 55. If so, it is not hard to do. You need a motor that has a 90 degree movement instead of 360, as most modern ones do. But, since the rear motor drives a single blade, they are the usually the right ones.

I cut the pivot off the original motor and welded it straight to the shaft of the Caravan motor, and made a small bracket to adapt it to the truck dash. It works great, has 2 speeds and even parks the wipers in the correct spot! I do not have a picture, but I will try to take one.
