Early 1955 truck wiper motor
Chris Wiehe replied to Chris Wiehe's topic in Mopar Flathead Truck Forum
Jeff what's the purpose of the little block before the switch. Thanks guys for vote to try and rebuild I'm gonna try that first now. I did pop the sides off and the grease looked little old and semi hard. Electricity isn't my thing, but trying to work with my boy sounds like a great father son project to tackle. -

If I hook power straight to it I could tell if it was a switch issue. The little block next to the switch (relay) maybe. How would I test or should I try to find one to replace it? Can it be hooked to power without that? -

And the search is on. May end up having to mount an individual one for each wiper.

Wipers are a no go. I took the motor out but can't seem to find one similar online. I've seen single motors but no dual. Should I just mount 2?

3/4 ton or 1/2 ton how to tell?

Door jams are smooth. I've looked around the frame for stamps but I'm not seeing any. Could be looking in wrong area? Would I have to take fenders off to see it? -
The DMV registration paperwork uses the number stamped on the engine. Found that number last night. The stamped plate is missing a 3. Guess it's one of those never get rid of the engine lol

Does anyone have a clock mounted in the right side grate? There are 3 round pins on back like a connector would go on but i don't see extra wire. Crawling around I've found all kinds of hanging wires. Gotta figure out what goes where.

What would a G be?

Looks like T336*49323* Wish the original plate was there
-
Hand punched plate inside says 3/4 But guy I bought it from said 1/2 ton. There are extra springs in back. The serial # doesn't match anything but does look lime start of some engine #s which may make it a 230? How to tell if it's a 218 or 230? Sorry newbie questions.

This is mounted on firewall. Want to dig deeper can't see "dodge plate" guy said it was a heavy duty 1/2 ton. Plate says 3/4 ton. Any idea what other letters stand for. Can't find info on different trim models either.

I would say exposed hinge? The heater has a blowe on passenger side with a little door to either blow on floor or directs it towards the drivers side. There is also a clockin the dash

Looks like I'll be doing alot of digging and research. I've got brackets in door hinge I assumed were for original mirrors but not sure. This is a long week like watching Xmas presents under the tree. I did find a pic looks like there was a support bar on back of mirror that went to the hinges. What are feature differences between the 54 and 55? Is a cap heater standard or more of a deluxe feature.

Are the riwire harnesses a simple plug in or a real pain the trace and adapt?

I was told break line was replaced and master cylinder rebuilt. I did get a test drive in let go of the wheel at one 30mph and it tracked straight down the road. Said it was a hay hauler on a farm, I did find a few small patches but over all really solid. Did find few small bare spots on wires I need to address. Wasn't sure if there is a wiring kit or if I take a wire and run new myself. Pics to co me when it gets home.

Finding some information is hard. I'd like to get the best manual that would cover motor work, electrical, ECT. What do you recommend and where do you get it ?

Picking up a 1955 dodge 5 window, where would be a good place to start? Needs windshield and rubbers but drives and stops lol. Body is pretty sold all around was well cared for. Inside leather trim could use some tlc thought about removing soaking to loosen and reinstall. Or could it shrink?
