I hate having no wind wings. I love wind wings. However, none of the trucks have wind wings any more. And, furthermore, my left foot has nothing to do .... they should put the headlight dimmer switch back on the floor!

Our 65 Galaxie, had the foot washer pump, swapped in electric as the bellows was rotten. Has the floor dimmer switch and wind wings too. My last truck to have those was my 90 F150, had a clutch too so my left foot had something to do.

Not that I hate it but it would only make sense if a platinum had brushed chrome mirrior caps and door handles to match the front grill and tailgate.

I believe that a Scotch-Brite pad and a little Comet Cleanser will make that shiny chrome turn into a brushed stainless (looking) finish..

I disagree...

Washer nozzles belong on the wiper arms themselves.. Far more effective at all speeds..

Also - putting them on the hood will just make them jam with ice and freeze up faster in the winter.. Putting them in the center of the hood would make them even move difficult to clear of ice.

My daughter just picked up her ordered-loaded Fusion, headlight dimmers are automatic on her car!

No foot or left hand operation needed.

I agree on the Platinum brushed chrome, it should be every where.....

It will but will take the PVD outer coating off and the plate will start bubbling over time.

Ya know Duane, I've never had to buff the truck, yet! I would like to come up with a conversion kit to relocate them to the wiper arms.

Go out and find a 1960s truck and get the parts! It has been a really long time since anybody has had the washer nozzles on the arms.
