Intermittent wipers?
I own an 83 F150. Completely base model, so no power anything. I'd like to know if these trucks had the intermittent wiper option back in the day and if I can convert. If yes, what would I need? Just a switch? Relay or wiring? If it's a simple upgrade I will do it.

Yes, they had that as an option and you can convert. You need a new switch and the intermittent governor/controller. Nothing else needed. I just posted on the Bullnose Forum that E-bay has a complete setup for $59.95

On that E-bay link there is a place to enter the year, make, model, etc., and when I pug in my 1982 F250 it says it fits. But of course E-bay is not always right.

Then tried 83, did not fit.
Tried 84 & 86 and they fit.
