I'm hoping numberdummy can help me with this. I need the 2 windshield wiper control arms for my 1965 F100. The ones installed on my truck are non-adjustable and different lengths by about 1/4". I talked to Green Sales and they said that Ford microfiche only shows an adjustable arm - not rigid for that year. This contradicts other information I have as well as what's installed. They also only have one in stock and I need both. Can you please help me get to the bottom of this and let me know of any sources to buy them? Also I need the wiper switch bezel retainer nut. Thank you very much!

 

Are you talking about the 2 stamped steel arms that go from the windshield wiper motor to the back of the arms that hold the wipers? Or the arms holding the wipers themselves? I just pulled a windshield wiper motor from a '65 in a junkyard by my house, the stamped steel arms that attach to the motor should still be in there if that's what you're needing. I only took the motor and mount. The wiper arms, switch, everything else was already gone.

 

yes... that is what I need. They are the linkage arms from the motor to the pivot assembly. Mine are straight and not adjustable but the bearings are wallowed out. Are the arms you have adjustable or rigid?

 

As mentioned, the arms are rigid steel. There are TWO different lengths. The one to the right wiper arm is longer (11 1/2"). The one to the left arm is shorter (11 1/4"). The measurements are from center bushing to center bushing on the arm. All the ones I have seen - right arm goes on first and than the left. The 'C' shaped curved part of the arms, face the motor. That is the horse shape (ends) face the motor. After the arms are in place, there is a very thin washer that goes on as well as the clip that holds them in place. This clip is the same one that attaches the arms to the wiper pivots. There are also the same size washers under those clips.
I don't post pictures here, DAAAAA. BUT if you wish, I can send them to you and you can post them if you wish.

 

I have all the pieces, I just need the two arms with bushings. I haven't measured mine but the book I have says the left arm is 12 1/4 and the right is 12 1/2.

 

No such thing as adjustable wiper transmission arms. When you contacted Green Sales, you didn't make it clear which arms you were referring to.

Green Sales assumed you wanted the adjustable wiper arms (C1SZ-17526-A) that the blades attach to.

I've got a bunch of these in a box in my garage...not sure if I have both lengths or not. One or both you can have for the cost of the postage. I'll be gone until Monday though. Email dvandtl at yahoo dot com if interested.

 

When I gave the measurement in my post, I said I measured "center bushing" to "center bushing". Most times thats how things are measured but I see the book measures the entire length. Go figure. O WELL, never too old to learn. Add one inch to my measurements.

 

ok, thanks for the clarification. I went ahead and bought the two new ones Bill referred me to, that way I know I have new bushings that should out live me! Thanks to everyone for the help and offer to send me theirs!
