Wiper motor?
I have a 56 F-100 that Im fixing up. The windsheild wiper motor is no longer working. Has anyone had any luck using a later year motor in a 56?
Here are some poor pics of my effie. I'm getting ready to install a serpentine system on it too.
Thanks,
Dustin

The light-duty trucks (the shop manual doesn't say how light) used vacuum wipers so that's probably what you have. The heavier trucks used an electric wiper motor (again, the shop manual doesn't say how heavy the truck must be before you could get electric wipers).
If I recall, the cabs are the same for most of the light and heavy-duty trucks so the electric wiper motor from a larger truck may be a bolt-in replacement for your vacuum system. The major vendors also have replacement electric wiper systems for your truck but they run from $150 to $250 or so.

My 56 Car has a electric unit from Dennis Carpenter, neat setup with factory style switch. Also my son has an extra unit from 76Bronco he wants to sell, it replaced a vacuum unit from the early models that mounted ontop of windshield.

Painted, thanks for the info. i will keep an eye out.
Would it be possible to wire a 69 Mustang motor to the factory 56 switch? Does anyone have a wire diagram for a 56 elec. wipe motor to switch?
