Windshield wiper motor location

I’m working on my 74 ford highboy it sat for 20 years and it’s close to being road worthy, one last thing I need to do to it is the windshield wipers don’t work. If somebody could tell me where the motor is or signs of a bad switch that would be great. I don’t have a ton of experience considering I’m 14 but any advice would be awesome

if you look under the dash above the accelerator pedal, you will see the motor...

I tested my switch by pulling the connector off the back and using a jumper wire. Motor was fine. Switch was toast.

Good luck and keep asking questions! And post pictures of your truck.
