Specialty Wiper Kit Midfifty

Anyone know anything about these cable drive kits for a 1950? Living in the pacific northwest in the cascade foothills we get the rain and snow and I plan on driving this truck daily when finished. Looking to go electric with clearance for after market gauges and heater. I want to get things mocked up while cab is bare and in primer.

Which cable drive unit? (link?)

If it is the one that is like used on British cars in the 60's, those seeemed to hold up well except where there was severe icing. Those also offer the most clearance to other stuff, especially on 48 - 50's with the braces for the radio. But whether the MidFifties unit is British or a cheap chinese copy, can't say.

Wiper

I was looking at there kit that has been modified with the original wiper transmission. I do not mind paying the price if it is reliable system.
