72 vacuum windshield wiper with LS swap

Hey guys. Quick question... I'm about 90% done with my LS swap in a 72 C10. I'm tearing out all of the factory air to finish installing the Vintage Air set up and noticed the wipers are vacuum. Id prefer to not have to run it off of the vacuum if possible. Anyone ever addressed this issue? What are my options. Thanks in advance. Trying to put my hours to use finishing strong.

Washer for windshield. You have the infamous GM electric wiper and washer combo setup!

That is a good one sir!
That is a factory electric wiper motor with the washer tubes installed. They send the water to the windshield when hooked up.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

Wallby darned. Lol. Good to know. They were tucked up in the heating system when I yanked it out that's why I thought they were some sort of vacuum line. Honestly hope I never get caught in the rain with it. Thanks.

Actually, if they are in good working order the two speed wipers on these old trucks work quite well.... The washers on the other hand are a crap shoot...

All kidding aside,
Swap the washer jug out for one with electric pump. Use the dash button as is to operate it. That's what I did years ago. I also added the delay wiper also.
