Is there a "spray" button on that switch?

I used the Newport Wiper under dash motor with intermitent switch, when you push the switch it pumps the spray and does two swipes.

There is... but I don't know yet if I am going to buy the washer kit it.

The washer kit is easy, get a tank from a doner, the pump is in it and find the sprayers from any doner you see that has them. That's what I did and was the cheapest part of the whole system,free.

That's very similar to what I did with my F1. I used the wipers from a 51-52 and swapped the vacuum motor for an early 90's cherokee. I'm using a cherokee steering column, which is just a gm column with different wire colors. It was easy to use the intermitent switch, stalk mounted, along with washers.

what are you going to install the wiper assembly on?
i notice you have the arms set up for parallel sweep. the 53-56 f100's all have inverse sweep. they move toward each other, then away.

you could change one side arm above the wiper pivot, with the other arm below the pivot, to get parallel arm sweep.
