Yes its after market.. It has a wiper kit on it but the whole thing is a botch and is worn badly. The motor in there is a 110 but the wipers have very little sweep. Unless you set the park half way up the screen you just aswell not bother having wipers as they clear so little of the screen and what they do clear is all at the bottom and nearer the centre of the screen.

If you pull the wiper assemblies from the splined armatures protruding through the cowl and then reinstall the wiper and arms back on in a higher position relative to the cowl. This might give you a better view.

Yes ive done that Mervy49 and they still jam up..like i say i think the whole linkage is worn out. And needs revamping. so im thinking ill fit a worm drive system for the time being and make the linkage a little project to revamp when im bored. i got too much going on at the moment and need working wipers so i can use the truck..Hence why i was wanting to know the wiper sweep.

There are braces under the dashes of 48-50's that make fitting anything else under there a PITA, but being in UK you may want to look into the use of a cable drive system. Like used on Jags, MGs, etc.
Note you can also just disconnect the passenger side wiper if the two blades are running into each other.
