41/53dodges Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Has anybody found an alternative to the factory electric or newport conversion for electric wipers? They are rather expensive... Ive had no problem with the vacuum, just the fact that vacuum wipers and turbochargers don't exactly get along. Thanks, Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randygall Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 (edited) I am working on my wipers now. I am setting up a wiper motor out if a Land rover Discovery. The wiper for the rear window seems to work well. The stroke is the right path needed. you will need one for each side. I am working on figuring out the parking of the motor. I got this motor out of a junk yard for $25. If you go this route, make sure you get the braket and wiper arm with it. I had to bend it to bolt to the steering colume support to keep the motor from twisting. the passenger side should work the same. It is alot cheaper. Hope this helps Edited February 20, 2014 by randygall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
41/53dodges Posted February 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 (edited) I considered the idea of two individual motors, figure these ones might be good. The 40's trucks and I think military vehicles did too www.ebay.com/itm/19101-02-Omix-Ada-12V-Black-Universal-Wiper-Motor-Kit-Jeep-CJ3B-CJ5-CJ6-/201006418978?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3AUniversal&hash=item2eccea8c22&vxp=mtr Edited February 20, 2014 by 41/53dodges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NiftyFifty Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Did you see on the ebay ad if you select vehicle it says not compatible with 1950 Dodge truck, wonder if someone already tried? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
41/53dodges Posted February 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Theyre meant for a jeep, id think it would take some modifications to do the trick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
