Awesome! Looks great.

Working at the local school, I have seen these kind of hooks in the lockers. The source is “SchoolFix.com”. Called single prong side hook, they cost a whopping 60 cents. The hook dimensions are 1-7/8in. W x 3-3/4in. H, with a 3/16in. diameter.

I used nut insets. I had the same problem and they worked for me. You would have to get the tool, but it comes in handy. https://www.amazon.com/HARDELL-Metric-Mandrels-100Pcs-Carrying/dp/B08T6T5KFV/ref=sr_1_9?adgrpid=1332608656029106&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.h7T5hOmkYbsb445dE-t0eCzsu-kpoWia92Dv17Dx5hgZsJwYIbrUwxKuMfjAHSA_tRB7KUpgZ8GBW3aT3IOPfyUrsc8J3n5Yo9Z9JYXTL6tC8PUzMPRER4_idopQKdDCMm__ePpGS1Lk-RBPlrnPnsKOoWPOGhPersI5S8rdUsOFeQUafq6w6KWj_e68bkIqo1OLtyo5fh4ZHxbiXZfpAgYqCScLjAL5EpdEZy6SSnY.AO6AerUDLfrBt-vLyxSIXNStDxi1vQxjpovN1Sb6EzU&dib_tag=se&hvadid=83288111888188&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=95913&hvnetw=o&hvqmt=e&hvtargid=kwd-83288380275808%3Aloc-190&hydadcr=26589_10513907&keywords=insert%2Bnuts&msclkid=37af12f3ea3615bfa476757386cc78ba&qid=1736470832&sr=8-9&th=1

I thought the throttle was to be used when you’re trying to start the motor. You can’t pump the gas pedal with your foot on the starter button.

I had the same problem. Took the hose off and loosened the heater.

The Newport wiper motor would be a new 12 volt motor. I think I’ll keep looking for an old 6 volt mopar motor. Step up converters may be ok for a radio but when it’s raining or snowing, I don’t want to count on one for my wipers.

Thanks dgrinan. I messaged Newport once and never received a response. I think that even if that unit is rated 10 amps, it might not last long at a constant draw. And a motor that is moving a couple of wipers across a windshield is probably going to be pulling more than a few amps.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a 6 volt to 12 volt step up converter? I’m looking into getting a Newport 12 volt windshield wiper motor for my 49 B1. I have looked on the internet and I’m seeing some but I would like to hear from someone that has experience with them. Thanks

You really have to look for that truck.😊

Come to you

Funny how those things to you in the middle of the night. The mind never stops.

My motor been sitting on a workbench for the last month or two. I can get to do the 2 speeds but it won’t park. I’m working on other things now and having a working wiper is a big priority. If it not original to the B-1 then I don’t where it came from.

JB, I would like to check out your article. Here are some pictures of the wiper. It’s an original from ‘49.

I have the electric wiper motor out off my ‘49 B-1-B, had the armature rewound, and I’m getting it back together. I wired power up to it to test it out and I noticed that on low speed the motor turns one way then on high speed, it turns the opposite way. So my question is, is that normal? I’m guessing it wouldn’t affect the way the wipers work but if I’m got something wrong, I would like to know. Anyone have an idea on this? Thanks

That’s a good question. I was wondering that myself.
