Wiper Motor / Switch swapping

Post by DanSanDiego2000 »

Southern64,

I have had a couple different motors and switches. The 1-speed motor and switch in our all-original '65 CC is different than the 2-speed motor/switch combo I grabbed out of a junkyard '66. I thought maybe the 2-speed only started in '66, but the 2-position switch has a C3 part number on it, implying it dates back to '63.

I have an NOS wiper switch, 1-speed, and it has a different number of and configuration of connectors than the 2-speed setup I have.

I would not bank on any interchangeability from year to year, and certainly not between 1-speed and 2-speed parts.

I know someone here will have all the details you need.

I have found that the "Custom Cab" has the two speed wiper and the standard cab to have the single speed wiper in the 65 and 66 models.

I am pretty sure the two speed wiper, and washers, were options in '65 and'66. My son's '66 Custom Cab originally had a single speed wiper and windshield washers in it.
Spent many days in wrecking yards looking for pieces and parts when we first put his truck together. Most of the '65-'66 trucks we looked at had single speeds, regardless of whether Standard or Custom Cab. Same went for windshield washers, though we did find washers in some of the single speed trucks and two speed wipers without washers.

Like Roger's son's truck, my 66 CC has a one speed wiper motor. Not sure if I will upgrade to two speed or delay wipers.

My very basic plain jane 62 Uni has a 2 speed electric wiper. I think it must have been an option in any of the pickups and the only option selected by the original buyer of mine.

2 speed wiper vs 1 speed.

Post by effienut2 »

My '66 custom cab has a 2 speed wiper and my regular cab has a 1 speed wiper. I found that I could modify the bracket holding the 1 speed motor to accommodate a 2 speed motor and it worked out well. Obviously I had to use a 2 peed switch.
