Is there a modification or alteration that can be made in order to modernize the windshield wiper attachments on my 1968 F100?

 

Yes there is.. use the wipers arms from a 91-96 F-Series truck. Refer to tbear's link in the Tech Info Compilation. The arms need to be disassembled and shortened like two inches or so.

I did the mod to my '70 and can now buy low buck blades from Walmart since OEM-sized refills are hard to find in my area. ..and buying nice blades makes little sense for use over a couple of months until they are roasted by the CA sun.

.

 

Can you post me the link here? I can't find it.

 

You can run modern standard black blades on the factory arms. I do.

They have provisions for the spade type arms

 

Personally, I prefer the post mount style.

You can also upgrade to intermittent wipers by swiping the switch and control box from a '78 or '79 truck. The swap is plug and play for those two years. You can also use a switch from up to '86, but the washer switch needs to be rewired.

Twist the **** to determine if it has intermittent wipers. It will act like a headlight switch. Remove the instrument panel, and the switch and control box are right there. Don't forget to wire in the ground when you install it in your dash. The **** will also stick out further than the original one. It can be shortened if it bothers you.

 

Thanks for all the responses guys! Now I just gotta find the time to get this all done.

 

Well at least you have better weather to work in than some of us. Bump Lives Matter-Fight the Rust!
