Do the 73-79 trucks have a windshield washer sprayer that sprays a fan onto the windshield?

I have a 72 and it sprays a single stream smack dab into the middle of the windshield. I don't like it cuz it uses up way too much fluid just to wipe the glass clean. I was wondering if these newer trucks had something better I could retro fit to my truck?

 

My '78 F-250 and my '79 F-350 both have a separate sprayer for each side of the windshield. I can't remember exactly how the F-250 sprayed since I gave it to my nephew and I haven't driven it in a few years. The F-350 doesn't have a reservoir or pump (wintertime project already purchased) so I can't describe how it sprays.


One stream in the center of the windshield is not correct though. Maybe one is missing and the PO bent the remaining one to hit the middle of the windshield. It's a simple fix.

Sorry, what I mean is there is a single stream right into the middle of each side of the windshield . . . one on the driver's side and one on the passenger's side. What I don't like is that it is a single stream.

I would prefer that the fluid spray out in a fan on both sides of the windshield.

 

Heres a trick that I used to make a fan spray pattern

be careful that you dont squeeze the squirter shut, thats why I used the screw driver as a stop. I couldnt set up the pic with the squirter, that's why I used the q-tip.

 

Thought about doing that but was scared.

 

I taped the screw driver to the pliers, it was a pita due to lack of third hand but it worked out okay. tested it 3 times before I had enough fan. might work in a vice or if you use a small C clamp. did mine as part of a security system but caught the wrong person, was a kid looking for a battery, damn.

 

On my 77.5 ,78 and 79 there are 2 separate spray nozzles mounted on the engine compartment side of the cowl and then the tips come out in the cowl vents. And are connected by a rubber hose to each other and to the pump, and the pump is in the front of the fluid tank.

 

My 75 camper special has 2 resevoirs and 4 sprayers on the rad support. One resevoir has indelible/India ink, the juice from a dozen boiled and strained large jalepenos, heaping tablespoon of salt and enough windshield anti freeze to keep it from icing up. 4" and all hell breaks loose.

 

Thank you Zark eh, I should tell you the rest of the recipe. I put in a lead with an inline 50 amp fuse from the battery to a house hold lightswitch and box and rigged up a trip wire to the hood and to a hole drilled into the toggle part of the switch. That goes to a toggle switch hidden in the engine bay that is always on and from there a lead that goes to a toggle switch in the cab that I use to control the system. I turn off the system and only lift the hood enough to unhook the trip wire then I lift my hood. It takes a minute and I don't lift my hood publicly unless the wire is off. I also took a tailgate support strap and zip tied it closed and bolted it to the hood so it can't be closed unless you raise the strap. There is also 2 series of 2 horns with their own fused power supply wired together to make noise but I'll be changing out 2 horns and replacing them with the horns that were in the sandwich truck that I bought. I caught a kid looking for a battery but I'm going after the guy who's been targetting my truck and the 2 other vehicles in my neighbour hood that have handicap placards on their rearview mirrors. The formula is hard on the eyes and the salt pushes the ink into the pores where the person rubs. Our Criminal Protection Service doesn't like it and threatened to charge me, F them and their junkie peons.
