Re: Dutch '59 Fleetside Longbed

Yes, problem solved Gary!
It sure is handy to have certain tools
The lathe is newer than my truck, it's from 1961

I've made a little gadget for the wipermotor:





To get this to work properly, I had to modify the wiper rod, one eye had to be turned around to get the clearence I needed. Otherwise it was hitting the motor.


Stock version.


Welded version.

After a little tweaking here and there, this is what it looks like mounted:





Fits pretty good under the dash!
This motor has two speeds, I hooked it up to a three-way switch, On-Off-On, so I got two speeds working. Only the park- or storage stand isn't working, because I do not have the relay. Something to do in the future

I modified the switch to take the old knob, looks better than a modern switch...







Now, on with the rewiring and apply for the Dutch Title!!
I'm finally getting there !!

Then the fun begins.....
