Re: Dutch '59 Fleetside Longbed

I got hold of a Volkswagen Golf wipermotor, I think it will do the job.
Took the original wipermotor out and testfitted the VW motor, that's a bit smaller so I should be able to get it to work.
The drawing I made is now reality...


The VW item, left, first grinded the ball link off, drilled a hole at the right place. The hole is threaded, put a bolt in it and tack weld it so it cannot move.


Because you can't get there anymore when it all is welded together, I made a new bronze bearing. The rod goes over this bearing and then the other, upper rod connector, that one is also threaded.
Screw the rod connector on, put on a nut and tackweld this all together so that this also can not move.


Rod connector in the making


For the upper rod I used the original pin.

The long bolt has to be cut to size and weld to the nut and connector.
Welding has yet to be done, I need the truck for that
This should work......I think......

Also went on with rewiring, made brackets to put the fusebox in.





Maybe it has to go to another location when I start working on the axles and steering, but it's ok for now.

I got the truck without any keys, so I bought an universal ingnition lock.
It's only too small for the original hole in the dash.
No problem for this Rocker
Take a piece of aluminum and make yourself a little adapter!



And the finished product:



Measurements on the drawing are in millimeters...



I love it when a plan comes together
