1956 F-100 Windshield wiper motors

Has anyone found any motors off of any newer vehicles that will work on the F-100 Trucks?

Thanks, was not aware of raingear I found these as well https://www.ebay.com/i/122762220158?...BoCFLkQAvD_BwE

I am asking the vendor if the width of the blades can be adjusted to fit where I would need them. Due to the installation of a Ford 500 Dash I need to get creative so my Defrost vents can stay put so a motor that works off a cable and can be placed lower will really help me.

The vendor stated that the width is adjustable and a few of the customers have used them on 53-56 F100 so, in theory, this is a good solution for me.

The other thing that is nice about the Raingear setup is that the motor can be placed on either end...nice feature for "darksiders".
