Question wiper motor

Could someone tell me what wiper motor will work on a 1954 ford truck. I have read a thread that said a late 80s to early 90s would work but need a part # or exact year model. I had my old one (electric) rebuilt but blades park in upright position when I turn the motor off. I have messed with rotating the shaft 360 degrees but to no avail. Would appreciate any ideas.

You would rotate the swing arm 180 degrees on the motor shaft, then adjust the wiper arms accordingly.

If that doesn't work, go to the bottom of this article. You will find information on Jeep Cherokee wiper motors there.

all I can say I think it was around 1970 when I went to 12 volts (54 f900)
I bought from Napa a 1964 motor and still works as I speak. If I remember
I had to lengthen or shorten the linkage? but it fits.
