Intermittent wipers
So here's a question. I picked up a 1987 f150 to pull the engine from to replace my knocky one. I noticed it has intermittent wipers on a switch just like the bullnose one. Would it be possible to swap said switch over to the bull and voila intermittent wipers!? Or is this just a pipe dream? 🤔

If it is the same type of switch in the dash then yes you can.
You also need to get the box the switch plugs into and font for get the ground wire.
Unplug and remove you switch.
Plug the box into your harness, ground wire to dash frame metal, install switch and test.

Oh yes it is nice as I do use them from time to time.
As said unplug the box from the parts truck harness, undo ground wire, pull switch from dash and that switch & box goes into your truck the same way it came out.
As they say plug & play

It is right at the switch.
It has 2 short leads on it that go between the trucks harness and the switch.
When you get under there and look you will be
well why didnt I look before asking 
The switch has to be for intermittent wipers to work with the box and why both have to come from the same truck.
